Tasting - Caprice de Bastor-Lamontagne






Name: Caprice de Bastor-Lamontagne

Variety: 60% Semillon, 36% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Muscadelle

Region: Sauternes

Country: France

Year: 2004

Price: $7.95

Shop Review: Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet.

My Review: At first on the nose, the wine smelt like really rotten lemonade that had gone bad a while ago.  After another try, the sugars definitely came through.  It was a super sweet wine, almost like an extremely sweet apple juice.  This wine reminded me more of a fruit wine than a grape wine.

With Food? No
