Review: "100% Tocai Friulano Straw-coloured yellow with a pale green tint express and intense, delicately aromatic and floral bouquet. The flavour is dry, soft, slightly fruity, with slightly bitter nuance in its almond aftertaste, and suggestion of peach."
My Review: When I first tasted the wine, I was surprised at how my taste of the wine was completely different that the "sommelier" at Vintage Cellar. He was describing a very herbaceous wine, full of lemon grass and tea notes. I could neither smell nor taste any of that. This wine to me was nothing out of the ordinary. I didn't think it had much of any distinct flavor profile. I wasn't a big fan of this particular white, mainly because in the finish there was a bit of heat, and as I've learned more about this class and my specific likes and dislikes in wine, I am just not that into that type of finish.
On this occasion I tasted this wine on its own without food
