Pleasant enough but not memorable. Rather tame.

Chinese New Year’s Eve...I felt compelled to fish up a bottle of Mou Tai for the occasion, but then I remember dipping into Mou Tai is comparable to drinking a bottle of hand sanitizer except it tastes worse. Quite the conundrum was setting in until I discovered a bottle of red with a cattle grazing square on the label...and guess what? It’s the Year of Beef. Boom. Purchase made, Malbec cracked and Ox wine consumed. Normally I give this one a solid 7.5, but since it is the Lunar Niu (Mandarin for Cow) Year’s Eve I bumped the rating up 0.8 because the number 8 is lucky in the Middle Kingdom. Gan Bei!

Intense red with soft brown tones, medium body, aroma of red fruits and spices, Tannins and balanced acidity. Middle end. Good companion for barbecues.

Dec 7th, 2019We bought a case of 12 in 2018, having tried this wine the year before. About $9 USD a bottle, we think it’s fantastic for the price. Update Dec 2019: still buying the 2017 Gran Lomo and we think surviving Cat. 5 Hurricane Dorian has given it stature!
