Ever since I saw the movie Sideways, I’ve held to the notion that any day is a good day to enjoy a great bottle of wine. So on Wednesday night we sat down for some pasta and a glass of Henry of Pelham’s Baco Noir 2005 Reserve. Both of us are fans of this wine anyway – but I don’ think either of us was prepared for just how good this particular bottle was.
One reviewer described it this way, “Very deep intense purple colour. Spicy, slightly cedary, plummy, red pepper nose with vanilla stick notes. Dry, very tangy, bright, ripe, plummy, gently juicy, black cherry flavours with a lingering cedary finish.” Now I don’t know about the red pepper and vanilla but the gently juicy and bright are perfect descriptions of this delicious and complex wine.
If you happen to find a bottle of the Baco Noir 2005 Reserve, buy it without hesitation and treat yourself to a truly fantastic wine drinking experience. It’ll be the best $25 you’ve spent in a long time. Any other bottle of Henry of Pelham’s Baco is also a good choice, but the reserve is really something special.
