First and foremost I’ll say that this was perfect with tonight’s Thai dinner. That said I would have been happy even if this wine simply yielded the ‘usual suspect’ nuances like slate, green apple, menthol, and succulent white flowers (which it did). However, I found that once the chill of the wine had worn off and it had drifted off into the recesses of ambient temperature it began to offer subtle yet pronounced notes of Fruit Loops. Not just Fruit Loops, mind you, but the cereal dust that remains once the last full bowl-full has been dished out. You know, the dust that, upon being poured into the milk, immediately dissolves and turns your milk into a paradise of flavor. I was all smiles when I caught this note about 30 minutes into the bottle. Nailed it. — 7 years ago
