Wine Review: "Golden silver color. Aromas of tropical custard tart, peaches, and guava with a crisp, fruity-yet-dry light-to-medium body and a tangy pineapple, lime curd, and earth accented finish." (Tastings.com)
My review: This wine smelled very plain, but then I swirled
the glass as hard as I could like I’ve seen the professionals do. It was very obvious that the smell changed
after doing that, and the smell sort of went sour in a way I can’t
describe. The wine was slightly on the
heavy side; it coated the tongue. The
heat of the alcohol came through very strongly at 12.5%. I would rate this wine at a 2, it was not really
for me, but I am sure someone out there would take it on recommendation.
Food: I had this wine with plain potato chips and onion dip.
