I have tasted this wine three or four times before this bottle, but not since last fall and it was always more pleasant. The nose is typically fairly pineapple with some melon and more of the same on the palate with refreshing acidity. The palate on this bottle is the same, but the nose is extremely weird smelling somewhere between stale urine and asparagus pee. Couldn't drink this bottle but this bottle is atypical.

Very good, lovely pineapple note and some butter. Not much vanilla. 2013.
