Tasting Notes

3.8

This wine exudes a nostalgic charm reminiscent of vintage Coca-Cola days. The profile is rich with ripe fruits, subtle licorice, sweet medicinal herbs, and bubble gum notes - hence the retro soda associations. Hidden around the corners are hints of VA and Nordic berries, adding complexity to the mix.

Structurally, it's sound though somewhat lacking in mid-palate depth. The wine offers good juiciness and an appealing dryness, with delicate tannins overshadowed by a subtle fizzy character. The finish, while pleasant, leaves something to be desired. Medium acidity keeps things moving along.

It sits comfortably in the moderately funky category, remaining easily drinkable throughout. The overall experience is like winter memories of a distant summer - pleasant but slightly wistful. An interesting wine that perhaps promises more than it delivers, yet remains enjoyably distinctive.

3.9

This wine certainly leaves a positive impression, meriting another tasting. It offers good fruit, though slightly marred by a hint of spoilage. Accompanying the fruit are notes of flowers, earth, and dark chocolate.

While it's not exceedingly complex, its good structure, acidity, and tannin stand out. The long and flavourful aftertaste is enhanced by a certain strain, which adds an interesting dimension to the overall experience.

Based on its current profile, I believe this wine has the potential to improve over the next year or two.
