Well balanced, especially after decanting for half an hour. Medium body, some pepper. Colour is deceivingly light. Overall, very nice.

Thin bodied. Mineral and spice. Lovely and not too rich.

Pretty good wine. It's gets better as it airs out a little.

Meh..... nothing special about this wine. Might pair well with really spicy, meaty food. Otherwise, I would pass on this again.

A little thin and not so subtle pepper. Not a big fan.
