Sipping Fine Wine

Tried the ‘15 again, got worse, time did not help, rather time was the wine’s enemy. Straw yellow with heavy oily aromas of stone and tropical fruits. Flavors of apple and melon with citrus and heavy oak. Not crisp as it should be, medium finish ending with harsh spice, off balance. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Tried 2015 vintage, not any better than 2014. Straw yellow with oily aromas of stone and tropical fruits. Flavors of apple and melon with citrus and heavy oak. Not as crisp as it should be, medium finish ending with harsh spice, off balance. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Color of Light gold. Really nice nose of green fresh apple, green mango, new oak, and waves of these fragrance. Taste follows similar notes with addition of zest, and a bit much too bitter. Not too much complexity. Aftertaste is again a bit too bitter. The nose is really nice and impressive with green apple and mango, but to me, the taste fails to deliver.
