Great stuff, Richard. I have no problem with traditional tasting notes, but I prefer the story of wine. You did a wonderful job of helping me understand the producer, and I love the description of the wine.
Vivid and meaningful. I really dig the description of the wine I think you could have done the entire post in that voice and it would have been really cool. Keep on rocking! I like the tasting note.
For wines I really like, I often find them evocative of natural settings. Thanks very much everyone for your input and I am very pleased that the review was appreciated so much. I think this is a great wine review, definitely better than a traditional set up.
I can completely relate to that feeling -- every now and then you find a wine that completely over takes your current state Post a Comment. I walk through an ancient Austrian forest, surrounded by woodsy and herbal aromatics with an underlying animal musk.
I then sit on a patch of thick grass and begin to nibble upon an apricot, savoring its juiciness, the flavor altered a bit by the forest smells, which add a touch of spiciness. What a joyous feeling, as I close my eyes and relish the sensory pleasures. It is a small vineyard and winery, about eight hectares that produce only about cases of wine.
