Vintage Cellar Tasting - Emeri

  • Name: Emeri
  • Variety: Shiraz
  • Region: Bortoli
  • Country: South Eastern Australia
  • Year: N/V
  • Price: $9.95
  • Shop Review: A relatively light, fresh style of sparkling Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish.
  • My Review: Can you say run on sentence with this guy above me, I mean come on can't you just throw in a period every once and a while, it really doesn't hurt to take a breath in between sentences and just calm down for real gosh darnit I can't believe how grammatically incorrect everyone is these days it really just puts me in a little rage fit geez.  The wine btw, was incredibly interesting, I have seen very few sparkling red wines and I'll tell you, I was excited to try it.  The last sparkling red I had was delcious, it was just like candy.  So I took a whiff of this wine and it smelled delcious, sweet, berries, candy, just great.  I took a sip and the bubbles immediately took over my mouth, it was cool, nice and fizzy.  The taste was initially pretty sweet and I liked it at first, but then this strange bitter after taste came over me and it turned me away from the wine quite quickly.  I got hints of banana and vanilla throughout and especially in the aftertaste.  I was overall not a fan of this wine, I wanted to be because it was so different, but it just didn't fit right.  Sorry sparkling red, you didn't cut it.  And for that price?  No way.
  • And without food?  Even less likely of a chance that I'd buy you, sorry.
