I love liquids but there are particular aromas and flavors that make my stomach churn and my cheeks blush when they cross my lips, and the candy red rose is my nemesis. It taunts me with its beautiful color, its stunning rich hues, but its aromas and flavors are so incredibly off putting that I tend to run the opposite direction whenever I sense cough syrup.
However one cannot judge a book by its cover and this particular wine hints at a candy rose concoction but then thwarts you with a fun round mouthfeel and bright acidity that turns my preconceived notions inside out. It's delicious and proves once again that exploration is the only means of discovery!
