Saturday, July 4, 2020 - WSET Level 3 Online (Week 8, Sparkling wine and Fino Sherry): The appearance is clear and medium lemon in colour.

The nose is clean with medium(+) intensity aromas. There are primary aromas of citrus fruit (overripe lemon), secondary aromas of autolytic characters (sourdough bread), oak (butterscotch), and tertiary aromas of almond and honey. There is also a note of nail polish remover. This wine is fully developed.

On the palate, the wine is dry with medium(-) acidity, low alcohol [for fortified wines], and medium body. The flavour intensity is medium showing primary notes of citrus fruit (overripe lemon), herbal characters (thyme), secondary aromas of autolytic characters (sourdough bread, uncooked pizza dough), oak (butterscotch), and tertiary aromas of almond and honey. The nail polish remover note also shows on the palate. The finish has a medium(+) length.

Very good quality wine; drink now, not suitable for ageing.
