Community Tasting Note

HandmadeHomemade Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 4, 2017 - Purchased off of Aucwine.

I was not expecting this wine to be as good as it was. When I recieved the bottle from Aucwine, the cork had "pistoned" and the capsule was loose- which made me think heat damage, but this wine was definitely not.

The wine pours with a golden hue, immediately I am hit with aromas of lanolin, lemon curd, and wet crushed rocks. After about 20 minutes the wine began to open up- softening that crunchy lemony note. Aromas of apricot, honey, citrus, and bitter herbs with a little oxidation on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is vibrant and fresh, if not a little tired. Flavors are pretty balanced, the wine seems a little acid forward. Flavors of apples, honey, and citrus and again a bit of oxidation. The wine comes off a bit simple in the mouth- but that nose is too intoxicating. For $30.00, I am a happy camper.
