Heynetty Does not like this wine:
April 10, 2022 - D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Pale amber
N: Medium (+) nose of cheese rind, pear, baked apples, roasted hazelnut, honey, hay
P: Medium dry, medium (+) acid, medium body, high alcohol, medium body, medium finish
C: The wine offers careful balance between sugar and acidity here carrying fairly intense fruit, nut and dairy flavors to a mild clipped finish. There is interest starting to build and tertiary flavors are present in the form of dried grass but the wine still lacks complexity.
Good Quality wine though better examples would have a longer finish and perhaps more complexity.
The wine is not suitable for ageing and is meant to be consumed young. I.d add ice and add as a cocktail component. Its pretty bland as is.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS FROM AMONTILLADO OR WHITE PORT IN A BLIND TASTING?
-AMONTILLADO IS LESS SWEET
-WHITE PORT IS FRUITIER

February 7, 2021 - Enjoyed at R'evolution in New Orleans. Excellent nose of Champagne and nuts with a touch of oxidation. Shows multiple perspectives, nutty, fairly dry, with fig paste and almonds on the finish. Paired with banana bread pudding.
