A Tasting Note! One of the wines our company sells recently received a wonderful review from a major wine publication. The wine also got good points! The reviewer wrote: Bold aromas of ginger, cardamom and honey, but the palate is bone-dry and bracingly firm, with dried papaya, peach and apricot fruit followed by a long, fine, minerally finish. I can't say I would have written the same note. What I find odd is no one else has written an even approximatively close description of this wine. How can this be? If this tasting note methodology, finding evocative traces in fruits and foods, is helpful, then certainly it would be repetitively reproduced by competent tasters. This never seems to be the case unless the wine is so obviously manipulated that it only presents monolithic aromas and flavours (I should note, I enjoy using British spellings whenever possible). A much more useful form of wine criticism, it seems to me, would be to ask Lyle Fass at Chambers Street to put together a 12 pack for you. |
