Vintage Cellar Wine Review: Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.
My Personal Wine Review: This wine was OK. The aroma was very fruity and I got a lot of sour apple and melon smells with a hint of cherry as well. The flavors were very weak and I couldn't pin point really any true fruit or other flavors. The wine was definitely tannic with a bitter aftertaste and it was sweet and tart. It was kind of like the candy sweettart without the hard texture to it.
I did not have food with this wine.
