Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - Very tricky one with this wine. It's a sweet sherry on the nose, with a pronounced intensity of pine, eucalyptis, vanilla and nut; but, on the palate, this is dry, dry, dry...did I mention dry? Very high in acidity, with flavors of almond skins, popcorn and grass / hay. Very good quality for what it is, but, on its own, I DO NOT like this wine - one of the oddest wines I've ever tasted. I'm told it is exceptional with salty foods, particularly Spanish and Italian hams, as well as many Spanish tapas, so have reserved judgment on the final score - I can definitely see those pairing well and I'll try to check it out soon.
