On palate I got citrus notes like grapefruit but I also got a subtle flavor of something else that I couldn’t identify.
#81 Melon de Bourgogne – 419 grapes left
This grape is known as a neutral grape from what I’ve read and I can confirm the profile presented in the wine was quite neutral but I did pick some hints of apple aromas and flavors.
#80 Monica – 420 grapes left
At first the color for a 2018 looked quite brick-like. That gave me a curious expectation and once served, the aromas of hickory and smokiness just hit me.
#79 Viura – 421 grapes left
his wine was dry, with a medium acidity but plenty of citrus and honeydew aromas and flavors including some minerality to it.
#78 Petit Verdot – 422 grapes left
The nose in this wine was fantastic and the aromas of what I’m venturing to say is american oak were easily identifiable.
#77 Scheurebe – 423 grapes left
Anyway, this wine had very little alcohol and even though I read many times it has less acidity than a Riesling.
#76 Teraldego – 424 grapes left
A grape whose dna has lived a lot longer than us. I mean, this is one of the parents of Syrah.
#75 Grk – 425 grapes left
I’ve been waiting to open this bottle for about two years with no expectations of it blowing my mind but the odds of me trying/finding this grape.
#74 Corvina – 426 grapes left
This was yet another example of Italy doing it right. I know it sounds lately like I’m overselling Italian wines, but damn Italy, so many great varietals.
#73 Parellada – 427 grapes left
First of all the color was a beautiful amber for such a young wine and the nose was of mead and somewhat ripe pears.
