Wine name: Apple Wine. Producer: Neil Shorney. Vintage: 2011.
Appearance pale amber colour, thick and viscous on the glass with very little in the nose, a touch of very light fruit aromatics. The attack is initially soft then with more structure and good acidity.
Evolution: Honey, lemons, apples, star fruit with a finish which is light lemon freshness on swallow and in nose.
Sweetness: 0. Acidity: 3. Tannin: 1 with a texture which is thick rough water and the length is very good and varied.
As for balance, it's nicely balanced, very good acidity. The wine has a cork closure and is 11% abv.
Overall, this wine is: Nice! Nothing like a drop of home-brew, and at least I’ve managed to ferment out to dry for a change. I will enjoying tasting this as it develops. Feels like cheating using a carton of juice, and it’s a real lazy wine, but a solid performer!. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 83 points.
