How Does This Wine Taste? 2022 Apothic Cabernet Sauvignon
Google search did not list any vendor selling vanilla plum licorice, but this wine would be the closest to vanilla plum licorice if anyone is interested. It's not to say it tasted terrible; it was delicious. It was just...different...not was I was expecting...apparently also black cherry and blackberry jam on that palette, but I'm pressing x to doubt. Not overly acidic or tannin and quite smooth. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed!

How Does This Wine Taste? NOT HOW THE BACK OF THE BOTTLE SAYS! 2021 J Vineyards Chardonnay
Переглядів 814 годин тому
Either that previous wine messed me up good or some people have no idea what they're smelling and/or tasting (and it's probably me; let's be real here!)! How do I keep smelling melon and cantaloupe in chardonnays when there are other smells in this world!? Certainly couldn't smell apple or pineapple in that wine though, much less taste any! And what the heck is creamy depth supposed to be!? Mor...

On the next video of How Does This Wine Taste, I'm going back to another Apothic wine because I don't think I've had this wine before! Or maybe I have...earlier vintage perhaps...who knows? A lot more acidic than I expected; not a whole lot of tannin to account for. Dark fruit characteristics, hint of black pepper, I don't recall there being any vanilla or raspberry on the palette.

When they marketed this wine as dark, bold, and a red blend, THEY WERE NOT KIDDING! Of all the Apothic wines that have been tasted on this channel for multiple years with multiple vintages, I have to say this one has the most tannin out of all of them! I was also able to smell the wine just by picking up and putting down the glass; the aromatic compounds were that potent! Wine was quite delicio...

      @THEAmateurSommelier Рік тому

      In the past, I've found 19 Crimes to be a safe bet brand to purchase from, although that would mostly be for reds. De Bortoli I would say is an average brand; if you're newer to wine, it shouldn't be a problem but if you're more experienced with drinking wine and have an established palette, there are better wines to be found. Yellow Tail I would avoid personally; I don't like the taste, although my friend loves their wine and mostly because it's sold in such large volumes that he will try to consume all at once. As for other brands...I'm going to have to find different Australian wines and make content! Once I go wine shopping again...which may not be until next month...
