Wine name: Rhubarb Wine
Producer: Meeeeeeeeeeee!
Vintage: 2008
Home made. Appearance not “gris” at all as planned, but a nice deep chardonnay yellow, quite thin and receding on the glass with dry and quite fresh green rhubarb, as if it's just been picked, with notes of bramley apples on the nose. The attack is quite intense and understated concentrated lightly sweetened rhubarb. Evolution: Bramleys, rhubarb, honeysuckle flowers with a finish which is stewed rhubarb in the nose with crisp apples and rhubarb on the swallow.
Sweetness: 0. Acidity: 3. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is surprisingly soft and silky and the length is excellent coverage of the tongue and a lovely lingering finish. As for balance, it's nicely balanced with a sense of new world extraction yet with old world poise and elegance. The wine has a cork closure and is of unknown strength! Overall, this wine is aging really well and has nicely mellowed and matured into something refined and still fresh. Definitely one to make again! My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 85 points.
