Sarcosa Toscana 2015
- Weak body
- Bouquet of sharpness, almost like a mango gone sour
- High acidity, very sour
- Almost an "empty" flavor, from lack of body
- Has strong mouth feel of dry leaves, high astringency
- Trace flavors of fruitiness
- Verdict-
- 4.5/10
- pair with something sweet or something with body but not too much flavor.
Chaucer's Mead
- First taste of honey sharpness, not in an unbearable way, but a pleasant kick.
- Aftertaste starts off very sweet. This mead seems to have a high residual sugar, enough to hinder flavor profile..
- Tingles the tongue a little but not too much.
- Back of throat has honey aftertaste
- Too sweet to drink constantly, but nice in 1oz (30ml) quantities.
- Verdict-
- 5/10
- pair with something strong and heavy so that it won't get shadowed
- Definitely serve chilled
I've been super busy lately and haven't gotten around to posting more things. The concord grape wine has been racked into a secondary and I visited Russel Orchards a couple weekends ago. They had really nice wines. Would recommend their heirloom apple wine; on a tangent, I would be very happy if my apple wine turned out anything like that. The apple cider was solid but not memorable. The berry wines (esp. the blueberry wine) were memorable but tastes average..
