Magnotta Maréchal Foch 2005
My trip to the Magnotta Winery storefront in Scarborough was months ago, but it took awhile before I finally popped the cork on one of the wines I purchased at the time. In this case, the wine was the Maréchal Foch 2005.The wine had a dark, musty smell that reminded me of the Campofiorin Masi that I sampled in January. The musty aroma of the Masi was closer to that of sweaty gym socks, whereas the Maréchal Foch was more pleasant.
The taste of the Maréchal Foch was, thankfully, far more pleasant than the Masi, which I didn't care for at all. It was fruity and a little bit smoky. Although the berry taste -- particularly raspberries, but others, too -- was obvious, there seemed to be a slight taste of melon in there as well. I discovered the melon taste on one sip, and then I was unable to get the taste back; so it could have been a figment of my imagination.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy this wine from Magnotta again.
