Community Tasting Note

The years of the grape wrote:

Tuesday, October 20, 2015 - Appearance: clear, medium lemon.
Nose: clean, medium + intensity with aromas of stone fruit (peach, apricot), citrus fruit (grapefruit, orange peel), green fruit (green apple, pear, melon). Fruity and rich in primary fruit, but this style won't develop anymore, thus it is fully developed.
Palate: medium-sweet, high alcohol, low acidity, with a medium body and a oily texture that make it quite fatty. Flavours intensity is medium + and it show a very fruity flavour profile, with stone fruits aromas being the most prominent (ripe peach and apricot) followed by ripe green fruit (juicy melon, golden apple, pear). Medium + finish with lingering fruity flavour.

Conclusions: unbalanced, with fruit and alcohol much higher than the needed acidity; not very complex, showing a good deal of fruit, but not much more. It has decent intensity and length, but it is a very tiring wine which leaves an not so pleasant sugary feeling in your mouth. Personally I would use it more for cocktails, balancing its low acidity with some much needed lime than by itself. Acceptable.
