7.5

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Totally confused here. I am rating a bottle of Aphrodisia that was bottled in 2012, batch 600 (or 6001, but i think that is a slash). No mention of the type of wine used anywhere on the bottle, so I am assuming it is the oldest one on RB. There also seems to be a bifurcation of styles going on here - some folks are rating this as golden yellow, others as pale zinfandel. Hmmm... Mine was on the pale zin side of the house. No head, no carbonation, no lacing. Aroma is quite wine like, lots of grape skin notes along with some honey. Flavor is sweet, of course, but not overly, with a lot of tannic bite from the grapes as well. Interesting.
