[Rich]

Been informed that my parcel arrived today. Hopefully it'll get picked up from the post office tomorrow

[Duffbeer]

Oooo you folks are slack Mell and I have traded, tasted, coughed & farted and left reviews and you guy's are still contemplating the colour of the bubblewrap you're gonna use C'mon stand to attention How ever will we manage 4 trades a year at this rate.

And I thought PATIENCE was a good quality to have on this forum

[lockwood1956]

You are quite right Carole ...it is......


your parcel arrived today, will try some tonight I'm thinking, been a very long week this week.

[lockwood1956]

OK

have opened the gooseberry.

firstly let me say...beautifully presented bottle, love the label, and the care you have obviously taken with it (mine woont be this good looking)

the wine is "star bright" (highest level of clarity)

the nose is a teeny bit flat (some elderflowers or elderflower cordial in the mix would improve this) but not a bad nose at all... I'm getting a little sulphite, not a lot but a little.

on the palate the wine is crisp and clean, good acidity (gooseberry can be overpowering) and it has good structure, very pleasant on the mid palate, and a cracking lingering finish.


All in all a great job Carole...well done a very good wine indeed.

not a critiscism, but have you tried sweetening some a teeny bit? I think it would be fantastic wine with a tad more sweetness.

Next time you pour yourself a glass add 3/4 tsp sugar to it and dissolve....


ab fab

thank you so much for sharing with me (will try the other one tomorrow night )

Thanks Bob
I didn't think it would get to you until at least tomorrow. And I am glad that they got there intact

I haven't tried sweetening it, as I do prefer drier wines...
But I will try that the next time I open a bottle, just to see the difference it makes.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it Karl
The other wine I sent, posed a little bit of a problem for me, so I dont think Bob will be so kind with that one

Was that the one you used strychnine in instead of finings?

[Mamgiowl]

No, I think she sent the bromide one,

[lockwood1956]

Eek!
