Tribal Force - Freezy Wine
Place of origin: France
Recommended blending ratio: 12 - 15%
Recommended ageing time: 3 - 7 days
From the punchy "Tribal Force" series, I have once again brought you a powerful flavour that is made up of three components: grapes, mango and passion fruit. Of course, the "terrible" chilling will not be missed here either, but as we are used to this from the producer's products, I started the testing with a throat chilling preparation.
The smell brings the scent of fine otello grapes, very strong and worth it.
The taste was quite angry , the punchy chill, the strong taste of grapes and the tartness of the mango all produce a more acidic taste that the passion fruit seems to get lost in. So, let's start at the beginning. On the inhale, the strong cooling, which is about 10/8 power, almost immediately burns the throat, followed by the grape, which is quite a bit overripe, but still enjoyable, dominating the flavours from the beginning to the end of the steaming. On the exhale, the mango also shines through, but only as an undercurrent, as it only adds acidity to the base flavour. The mango is a little dry and there is no sweetness. The passion fruit is not really evident as the grape and the cooling take over the aroma. There are no artificial flavours, but it's obvious (to me at least) that the cooling is a bit overdone, with the grapes on arm, and the mango supporting in the background, you get a really flavourful trio. I dread to think what it can do in a mesh-plate boiler at 50-60 watts . The product yielded the "frosty grape" as described by the manufacturer although we won't be big buddies, just because of the strong cooling and the excessive and intense flavour.
