Pale lemon colored with copper highlights and a high viscosity (14% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of peach, jasmine, lemon curd, white blossom, honeysuckle, tangerine peel and a waxy lanolin. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a full body and some bitterness (skin contact perhaps?). Flavors of Jasmine tea, honeysuckle, lemon and tangerine skin, hints of peach and a salty minerality. The finish is medium in length and the bitterness has worn off at this juncture leaving the mouthfeel a touch waxy with some saline and honey. I am really enjoying the tropical notes of this rather aromatic wine, albeit not overly complex. It gets 90 points from me and 5 stars, I paid just under $15 for it. I’m gonna pair it with roast duck leg and mashed sweet potato. Drink till 2026. Salut….
