This was one of the wines I tasted at the KCCWS AGM recently. Scrutinizing the label, one can see a line at the bottle with white letters on a black background under the heading Acquereurs, the name of the Wine Society with the Club crest. On further enquiry, it turns out that the Wine Society together with a number of its members had formed a group to bid for Hospice wines and this was the result. A barrel was bought and they seemed to be bottled in magnums (I suppose they will bottle the whole barrel in the same bottle size.) Nice to know that the Society is active in this manner; maybe one of these days, I might ask to join in on the venture with them.
As for the wine, it was a deep limpid ruby with a sweet acid stewed berry nose. The palate was slightly sweet and acid with hints of berry and wood, well supported by an acid backbone.
