critic/Winery Review: Rosésalmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine
bubble that forms "lace" and "rosary". In the nose is
complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of
dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated
"perlage" with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate
and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.
My Review: The
first of many rose wines on the day.
First thing I noticed was that it wasn’t really a rose as it was a brown
color. Very odd and looked like someone
mixed in some pulverized wood into it!
The smell was even weirder (just like that word). It almost smelled like someone put a copper
wine under my nose and I was sniffing that.
And then as I smelled it more it starting to smell like I drove by a
dead skunk in the middle of the night.
(There are always dead skunks in my town so it’s a pretty common
smell). The taste didn’t really improve
this wine either. It was very light but
it was very floral with some herby hints to it.
It was just a very odd wine that I was not enjoying. A good wine to taste just for fun but
wouldn’t suggest actually drinking it.
