Smirk, 2014 Moscatel, Western Cape, South Africa

Taste

Earthy, nutty nose with hints of white flowers, mandarin orange and lime. Think fruit sorbet in a glass--sweet but not cloying. It has a nice structure to balance the sweetness. Rich with vibrant aromas and flavors of rose petal and ripe fruit on the nose and palate.

    I liked this wine, I didn't love it. Your pallet is filled with a nice citrus taste, very well balanced. I feel like it could have been sweeter or more flavorful, the after taste or the end of the taste is watery. Overall it is good and I would drink it again.
