Casey @ Travelling Corkscrew

If you didn't catch my tasting note yesterday it was for this ones younger sister, the new release 2016 @joanne3drops. I was amazed at how different these two vintages were and how much 1 year in the bottle can do - side by side it was clear the 2015 was the older of the two. Also this was Mr. Spittoon's favourite of the 3 vintages (we also tried the 2012)! It's a light yellow colour with a hint of green. On the nose it's flinty with slightly toasted orchard fruit coming through and I couldn't help but pick up hints of feijoa. The palate has a creamy texture with a mix of honeydew melon and crisp apples. I really loved the finish, full of flavour and 100% refreshing.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #mediasample
