2012 Mollydooker Verdelho The Violinist
Community Tasting Note
Omar Khayyam Does not like this wine:
71 Points
Friday, April 15, 2016 - The nose is not so bad but the palate is just awful.
Like a cheap vodka and vermouth cocktail that someone decided to treat with 300% new oak (although that might be overselling it); harsh pulp mill vanilla esters, astringent bitter herbal notes, very high alcohol, oily texture.
We could not finish the glass.
Poured some of this into a cream sauce before tasting it (just smelled to see it was not damaged) and the sauce turned out quite well so that's what keeping my score above 70.
