Is Rubaiyat a good wine?
Tasting profile
A full-bodied Bordeaux blend with a rich nose of pencil shavings, dark chocolate, vanilla, and ripe fruit, layered with tobacco notes. Well-balanced and juicy with a complex flavor and long finish, structured enough to benefit from cellar aging.
Synthesized from 804Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Perfect bridge from 2924 to 2015. The old to the new. Rich pencil shavings and dark chocolate nose. Full bodied, but not heavy. Goodness personified.”
