GT Fish and Oyster. Was good - bit of sweetness but not overpowering.

Screaming acid to match its sweetness, not so much on complexity or concentration of flavor

Big expressive nose. Pleasantly semi-sweet, round palate.

(0) Wood staves and lemon Pledge out of the bottle. Softens a bit after 15 min in the glass. Not a good walk around wine.

Had not had this #wine in a long time, on the drier side especially for a Demi-sec but a lovely core of acidity & with just enough #Chenin funk.

Floral, bright and crisp with a dash of honey absolutely lovely! Great with mushroom risotto.

Acid-y and tart. I prefer the regular sec much more. It’s almost as if they were made by different estates. Still good, though!

Tropical fruits on the nose. Healthy dose of sweetness, with a fairly acidic base. Would be good with spicy dishes.

Scents of tropical fruits. Creamy mouth feel. Slightly off-dry.
