  D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Pale god
  N: Medium (+) nose of lemon curd, dry tarragon, dreid apricot, hazelnut, almond, macadamia nuts
  P: Medium sweet, medium (+) acidity, hgh alcohol, full body [instructor says medium +], medium (+) intensity, medium finish
  Not cloying so its balanced. The intensity is good though the finish clipped and the wine lacks real complexity. This is a good quality wine which is not suitable for ageing.

  4/5/2022 - JNebs Does not like this wine: 83 Points

  I’m no connoisseur of white port. This disappoints. Honeysuckle and honey predominate over some white grape, quince, pear, and minerality. This should be served over ice or in mixed drinks as a sweeter, flabbier, less interesting alternative to Lillet blanc… After a couple of weeks trying to like this with friends and family, I poured it down the sink.

  Deep gold color. Medium plus nose shows dried spice, honeycomb, banana peel, dried lemon peel, bruised kiwi, heat, brine. Palate is obviously hot, sweet but it's balanced with other notes, bruised yellow apple, candied orange peel, banana, older passionfruit, finishes short than expected, alcohol covers it up there. Decent but I see where there are better examples certainly possible even though I haven't had them yet.

  Macerated apple skins, and sweet, and a touch flat. But there it is. Gaetano says "I think they are mailing it in with this one."

  So, a mid-priced sauterne walks into a bar and hooks-up with a mid-priced ruby port....they make whoopee...and this is the result. It's sweet. It's fine. It's drinkable. Beyond that, not sure there is much to report. Currently, the CT average score of 85 seems about right.
