  Tasting Training for WSET Level 4, Units D4 + D5 - Session 8: Wine 3: The wine has a pale lemon colour. The nose has medium(-) intensity and includes primary characteristics of green fruit (apple), citrus fruit (ripe lemon) and stone fruit (peach) as well as secondary characteristics of biscuit, bread crust, toast and smoke.
  
  On the palate the wine is dry, with medium acidity, medium alcohol and medium body. The flavour intensity is medium, flavours mirror the nose and include green fruit (apple), citrus fruit (ripe lemon) and stone fruit (peach) as well as secondary characteristics of biscuit, bread crust, toast and smoke. The mousse is medium-fine, the finish has medium(+) length.
  
  This is a very good quality sparkling wine since it has medium intensity of aromas and flavours, good complexity, good balance of fruit and acidity and very good length. To be considered being of outstanding quality the wine would need even greater complexity and even greater length.
  
  The wine is ready to drink. It does not have enough concentration and structure to improve with further time in bottle, and is hence not suitable for further ageing n bottle.
  
  NB: Disgorged July 2020.
