I've been drinking and collecting wine for about 3 or 4 years now without having gone on any courses at all. In the last year I've started to pick up a lot of "tasting" tastes such as chocolate/vanilla/different berries - mainly on red wine as I drink red mostly.
Last night I had a desert wine at my favourite local (nice/expensive) restaurant in Wandsworth, London called Chez Bruce. This is what I thought and was wanting to see what my experience was like related to others to "test" my abilities ;)
Full upfront tastes of Oranges and Apricots with a lingering hint of eucaliptis. Not as fleshy as some other desert wines that I've had, and a tad on the dry side. All in all, went quite nicely with my Creme Brule desert. 7/10.
Anyone else have experience with this desert wine? Eucaliptis was possibly the closest description I got for the "je ne sais quas". Maybe someone could give a better description of it? And, unforunately, I don't know what year the vintage was.
