Chateau Feuillet
Valle d'Aosta Moscato Bianco
Valle d'Aosta, Italy
Aromatic candy - perfumed orange blossom and honey jasmine tea. Smells sweet.
A big Moscato - voluptuous and a textural sensation - is it syrupy? Is it just the alcohol (14.5%)? Is it fatty? Is it acidic? It’s all of these at once.
I had a hard time understanding whether this was actually sweet or just aromatically suggestive of sugary things. I still don’t have my mind made up.
Goes down a little hot. Extremely honeyed - then orange and passion fruit and bitter grapefruit before a long exit.
