2015 Famille Bougrier Vouvray Grande Réserve Vieilles Vignes - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray (12/17/2016)
– cork pulled one hour before initial taste –
– tasted non-blind over a couple hours –
NOSE: sweet, honeyed lychee; meh; simple; something seems “off”; medium+ expressiveness.
BODY: medium-full to full bodied.
TASTE: 11% alc., OFF-DRY (irritatingly not advertised as such anywhere on the bottle); weird, unpleasant aftertaste — something synthetic-like; low acidity; alc. not noticeable; paired well with spicy chicken chili, but I still don’t like it.; simple.
