Well, in short, not very good news. Very cheap wines, all of them drinkable but too simple and lacking lots of complexity.
Cheers,
Paco
But...
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónFor example you´ve scored Pirineos Gewürz with more than 8/10... I think that it’s a very good score, nevertheless do you think it’s a simple and lack of complexity wine?
Well... I know that’s not an mid-European Gewürz...
Cheers,
Jose
This is is the question....
Ver mensaje de joseIt impressed us a lot because it was the best wine tasted but is a ";bit"; far away from Alsatian or German gewurz....
In general we found lack on ";complexity";.... :((
So it was scored having in mind...
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónThe other wines... Have I to guess that tasted alone its score would have been lower?
Thanks and regards,
Jose
Re: So it was scored having in mind...
Ver mensaje de joseWell I don’t know... I think that was its originality what I found more attractive but I couln’t dare to imagine what would have happened if I had tasted this wine alone....
Well, anyhow it was the best of the nite ;) (V)

Re: So it was scored having in mind...
Ver mensaje de Paco HigónI have recently tasted the Pirienos Gerwuz and the Terrasola Muscat (the weather is gorgous, whites are extremely tempting :-)) ... I must say I did not really like any of them, but then they are of the ";sweet ending"; kind, which I just can not stand (but, see, I keep trying :-)))
MaJesus
Nobody can say that you don’t do your best...
