Shop Review: Brilliant yellow. Dried pear, lemon zest, honeysuckle and a hint of vanilla on the fragrant nose. Fleshy and smooth on the palate, offering fresh melon, pear nectar and tangerine flavors and a hint of bitter quinine that adds back-end cut. Closes on a subtle leesy note, showing very good energy and lingering citrus character.
~ 90, Vinous
My Review: When I first sniffed this wine, wow could you tell there was a crispness to it. I could detect fruity aromas, especially a pear and melon aroma. There was also a bit of an underlayer of oak. When tasting this wine, I thought it was earthy in flavor, sort of like dirt or green apple. This had a buttery tasting and fuller body finish. This wine did leave a dry and tart mouth.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
