Tasting - El Cortijillo Verdejo



Name: El Cortijillo
Variety: Verdejo
Region: La Monacha
Country: Spain
Year: 2014
Price: $5.95

Beverage Testing Institute Review:
Golden straw color. Bright, attractive, tropical aromas of creme brulee and fruit tart with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, intriguing, snappy lime and apple finish with crunchy, fruit tannins and light oak. A super smooth and pure white sipper.

My Review:
This wine smelled like pears to me, but not sliced pears, pears that still are completely intact. This wine was a little crisp smelling and smelled fresh. When tasted, there was a clean ended on the back pallete and had flavors that were grapefruit and tarte. This wine was dry, plain, and one dimensional. Not to say this wine was bad, because it was good, it was just forgetful and nothing special. This was tasted without food.
