HILIKUNMAKKEE VALKOINEN A Finnish berry wine |
| Colour: | A dark coppery golden colour. The attractive shade reminds one of red-hearted pine, and itcould best be served in a large wine glass. |
| Nose: | There is a flavour of sweet berries, honey-like. The bouquet emerges slowly from a well-chilled wine. |
| Taste: | The wine has a strong berryish taste, with a nice roundness to the finish owing to the sugar and an aromatic acid stem. It could be accompanied by mildish Emmentaler cheese, hard cheeses, and spi- ced crackers. Its character can be changed by varying the serving temperature, but it remains a nicely-balanced wine to drink on its own. Alternatively, a clear salmon and herb soup, spiced with wine, or crayfish coo-ked in strongly-spiced dill water might be suitable accompaniments. |
