So this Chateau Ksara’s Reserve de Couvent. Becca says that’s Reserve of the Convent in some crazy dead language, and for some reason right now she is fingering a rosary, so I guess I’ll go with that. I obviously like this wine. First off, not to obsess, but the label doesn’t just have a picture of an old-timey building; the label itself is actually a castle! I mean, that’s double the classic label design.
Next, I like adventure, and this wine is like a lip-searing journey through the world’s largest liquorice scented tannery. Finally, I support economic diversification, and wine making is an important component in the Beqaa valley’s agricultural and estonian-kidnapping based economy.
I recommend this wine to anyone who feels that they do not get enough astrigence in their diet.
Ratings:
Label: 3 whole castles of badass
Wine: Well, we did finish it, for what that's worth. I guess grade-wise that's a minimum of sixty percent?
