Enrique Mendoza 2009 Moscatel de la Marina Moscatel (Alicante)

Country: Spain / Moscatel de la Marina
Variety: Moscatel Levante
Winery: Enrique Mendoza / Alicante

Opens with air freshener, chemical notes, lime and pastis aromas. Overall it doesn’t smell light and ethereal like some Moscatels, but it’s honest and varietally correct throughout. Tastes of honey, candied mango and anise, with bitterness on the finish. Stirs some interest but has its weaknesses.
