| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FOLIE À DEUX |
| Bright medium straw colour. Intense, quite cedary, spicy, honeyed, baked apple-lemon nose. Slightly off dry, medium bodied, somewhat spicy, fairly intense, ripe lemon-apple flavours with a crisp, very cedary finish. Ready-to-drink. Has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L048710-6 on the back label. Very similar to the 2014 (*+/**) that was released on January 7, 2017 at $24.95. Perhaps this is why the Vintages Catalogue shows a review for the previous 2014 release by Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, June 1, 2016? TONY ASPLER / 89-points / TRY - Minerally, spicy, toasty, apple bouquet; medium to full-bodied, dry, apple and melon flavours with a firm, oaky finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: Despite this wine's initial big-barrel influence, it becomes a complex, satisfying mix of salted caramel, melon and ginger that remains relatively light bodied and able to display minerality. At an attractive price, it's worth considering for midweek meals and larger gatherings. Score - 90 (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, June 1, 2016) |
