La Cave a Fromage, London Tasted Friday, July 16, 2010 by Cheryl with 669 views
I thoroughly enjoyed this English sparkler! Easy drinker, some sweetness with a bit of apple and pretty good acidity.

Golden light rose color, a little sulphur on the nose, soft with just a little acid on the palate. Enjoyable enough.
Petrol on the nose, sharp fruit too. On the palate too sweet for Spatlese in my opinino, honey, citrus, melon and not much acid. Ok, but not a repeat.
Rich, round, good mouthfeel, honey. Maybe too sweet as well. Ok.
Really oxidized apple nose with some sort of artificial quality. Sweet at first but puckery/sour on the back and finish. Bad sherry flavors. No.
A very light green color, new oak, young, oily mouthfeel, a bit sweet pear. Pleasant.
Oily, rich, unenjoyable.
Tons of alcohol and jam on the nose. Sweet short finish.
The group's wine of the night. Licorice, big palate, nice finish, fruit slowly dripping to the background with some spice coming through. I thought this was 5+ years older than it was.
Some alcohol on the nose, dark sweet cherry, some strawberry on this. This is sweet and young. OK-
This was nice. Not complex but enjoyable. Good memories from my earlier wine drinking days.
Sherried nose, shoe polish. No.
Chalky drying tannins. Pencil lead.
