  • D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Medium garnet
    N: Medium (+) intensity nose of hazelnuts, raising, prune, dry cherry, blackberries tea
    P: Sweet, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) fine grained tannin, high alcohol, full body, medium (+) intensity and medium finish.
    C: The alcohol feels far too hot here and so its out of balance.
    The dried fruits are nuts show a good intensity which sadly plays out to a rather curtailed finish. The wine lacks complexity but is of good quality, The wine would be far better if the finish were longer and the complexity were greater. The wine is not suitable for ageing.

    This wine didn't look much like or taste much like a tawny according to some so looking forward to trying other Tony examples

  • Tasting Training for WSET Level 4, Units D4 + D5 - Session 7 (non-blind): Wine 3: The wine has a medium garnet colour. The nose has medium intensity and shows aromas of red cherry, blackberry, plum, coffee, tobacco, black pepper, toffee, and black tea.

    On the palate the wine is sweet, with medium acidity, medium(+) tannin that is just ripe and a little coarse, high alcohol and medium body. The flavour intensity is medium(+), flavours include blackberry, red cherry, plum, coffee, chocolate, nuts, toffee and caramel. The finish has medium(-) length.

    This is a good quality wine since it has good intensity on the nose and palate, medium complexity and decent length. To be considered being of very good quality it would need better quality tannin and greater length.

    The wine was aged oxidatively. It will keep for a number of years, but will not improve with further time in bottle, and is hence not suitable for further ageing in bottle.
