Critic Review:
Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence. 90 - Stephen Tanzer
My Review:
This wine smelled greatly of tangerine, grapefruit, with a hint of raspberry, meaning while it had a very sweet smell, it was citrusy. It also had a very nice, pretty, pink color. The taste however was entirely different. It tasted tarte and super alcoholy, but not with a lot of heat if that makes any sense. While it may sound strange, this wine tasted like a sour green apple without the apple. This was tated without food.
