Sweet #Kent #wine from England: 2010 #organic: http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Sweet 1858 Rhubarb Wine. Producer: Home-made Vintage: 2010. Purchased from home made!. Appearance slightly rose-y yellow, thick and viscous on the glass with rhubarb aromatics. The attack is soft and syrupy . Evolution: Rhubarb, acid drops, pear drops. Taste like an old fashion sweet shop. with a finish which is acidy fruit syrup. Sweetness: 4.5. Acidity: 1.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is smooth and velvety and the length is little patchy. As for balance, it's good . The wine has a cork closure and is 0% abv. Overall, this wine is: Very nice sweet dessert wine, just tiny tiny tiny bit of yeast at the back of the mouth, but not enough to ruin it.. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 85 points.
