Latest Country Wine Tasting
Latest Country Wine Tasting
I marched on down to the basement today to sample my country #wine. It has been about a month and a half since I racked this pear wine a second time. Right now I'm patiently waiting for all the sediment to fall out so I can bottle it up and let it age.
Tasting Notes:
- I know this should go without saying but it does smell and taste like wine at this point. I was a little worried about this wine early on because it tasted like cheap malt alcohol at the first racking.
- The mouth feel is pleasant and has some real grip to it
- The early and late flavors are OK but I think they could use higher acid content
- There is a flavor in the middle that is not that pleasant. It still retains some sweetness (almost like overripe fruit). I want to say it reminds me of 4 loco.
- The aftertaste is pleasant and it sticks with you
- The alcohol taste is mild
- Overall (beside the mild and middling sweetness I mentioned) its a pretty dry wine.
Other notes:
- The country wine looks pretty dark in the carboys but in a glass or dropper its really improved in clarity. I hope in 6 or so more months the fruit haze will have completely cleared up.
