My review/ Wine Folly Characteristics/ Page Reference:
Page 464: Color of Wine
This wine is a Wine Infusion so there is not one particular kind of wine in this. So, I did some research on what the color of the wine means. The wine based on the pictures looks like a Deep Straw color. I used the chart to help identify the hue and intensity in the wine I tasted.
As I smelled the wine, I smelled a soft tropical flavor. I did smell off the bat the mango as well. When I first tasted the wine I immediately tasted the mango. But, then I tasted an aftertaste of coconut tropical flavors. The drink I can almost compare this to is drinking Malibu.
Overall I liked this wine because I like sweeter wines and this was a nice in between medium sweet wine with nice tropical nodes to it. It had a light body to it as well. I wasn't too much of a fan of the aftertaste though of the coconut.
