WXTP Tasting II (Beautiful Wines, The Plaza): I did not like this much. No flaw, decent wine-making, but it was just exceedingly simple and not very pleasant. It had a very sweet nose, all rather confected, with sweet, candied aromas of berries and cherries and another twist of very Chilean green vine stems. Not exactly what I would call a nice bouquet. The palate was far too sweet for my liking as well, with candied black cherries and berries dominating the flavours. There was some juicy acidity and decent tannins riding alongside another hit of greenness and some spice at the back-end, but that too did not come together all that well. This is another wine that I do not see improving much with time.
