The Latest Wine Talk, from Chardonnay to Z
by Simon Lloyd
(Copyright 1998 (c) John Fairfax Publications Pty Ltd)
| We've all read those wine reviews in which the writer takes us on a journey through the wildest spectrum of tastes ("it's full of burnt toast", "redolent with subtle melon, honey and nutmeg undertones" - you know the sort of thing). So how about these recent reviews of a selection of Rosemount wines, published in Wine X Magazine in the U.S.?
Re Rosemount's 1997 Diamond label chardonnay, the writer asks: "What would happen if we kissed - would your tongue slip past my lips? Hell, no! Not if this wine was in my mouth. Ain't sharin' this sucker with nobody." And the 1996 vintage of the same drop: "Picture Brad Pitt in boxer shorts. Enough said." And as for the Rosemount 1995 GSM: "Donald Trump smoking a cigar in a leather chair - big, bold, rich, smoky and quite content." All very refreshing stuff. |
