Shop Review: A powerful nose of peach, citrus and
passionfruit aromas complexed with some sweaty notes. Pungent and powerful aromatics – sweet citrus,
meyer lemon and grapefruit, juiced green apples then a tropical note of
pineapple core and passion fruit. Intense
with excellent mouth feel and texture leading to a long lingering finish
enhanced by vibrant acidity. Finishing dry,
with a firm acidity that is well balanced by a touch of residual sugar and a
solid fruit core that reflects the aromatics.
My Review: I definitely did not get all of those
complex aromas and flavors! I need to
work on my sniffy sniff skills and train my palate up before I could ever get
some of those specific descriptions. This
wine was a straw color. The smell of
pineapple was the main aroma I could sense.
It also tasted of pineapple and had a slightly sour finish.
I had this wine
alone without any food.
Sniffy sniff? haha
ReplyDeleteYep! It's a very technical wine term. :-)
