Deep straw gold. Big magnolia and banana creme on the nose and palate. Full body and medium low acidity; typical of new world expressions of the variety. Enjoy this fat white mama with buttery lobster, chicken with cream sauce, breaded pork chops, or roasted turkey and dressing.

Scent is full and oily with hints of gasoline and petroleum. Also lighter fruity notes of nectarine and florals like elder flower and Violet. Very full and hot to start with a crisper acid finish of citrus, tangerine, and some pineapple and Banana. Just a touch of butter. French style white with a little heft.

Way too sweet, very disappointing compared the better-balanced 2011.
