It reminded me of being smacked in the face by a lime soaked oak mallet.
Amazing how different tasting notes can be.
£4.99 is good for the pocket. This marmalade thing - on a 2011 wine ? ? ?
Mel likes her oak with nearly everything. Shez likes his with full flavoured reds.
It's all in the mind ....and body. Mr G, your palate's not accustomed to the mallet
I like cadillacs and loupiacs with decent oak for gathering dust, and then sipping - can you get them in this hopeless country ? NO
I don't particularly want to go there, with that marmalade *turn (evolution) you get with some ripe styles. Fermented just so in french oak - to demi-sec from botrytis fruit is the one for me.
