Community Tasting Note

NoTrollingerPlease Does not like this wine:

Thursday, September 22, 2022 - Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Fall edition (@home): Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
Popped and poured, tasted blind on day one, drunk over two days. Clear, medium-deep ruby color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. Lots of dominant vanilla, speck, fine sweet red fruit, spices. Round and warm.
On the palate? Well, the best you can say is: They managed the 15,9% abv really well! I was truly surprised that it never felt hot. Other than that: It is a typical “poser wine” and certainly a crowd pleaser. Lots of simple, sweet fruit, lots of vanilla (American oak), creamy and round, very uncomplicated. Or you can say: a simple, rather one-dimensional wine made for people that want to get drunk fast, but won’t use Vodka or Tequila and are willing to pay a premium price for that. Zin gets way better than this, even in California. 87-88
