(90-92; Drink 2021-25) 91+ tonight
Cod in the grill basket tonight and anyone that knows about flakey white fish on the grill knows that prep of fish/basket is critical, otherwise you're enjoying segments, not a whole fillet. This session turned out like a champ, with crust, much ❤️ to the grill master 😉.

Minerality, apples, lime zest. Very tasty. It was my friend’s first Aligote and she’s convinced!

Killer nose of lime zest. Minerals. Lime gum drop. Sappy lemon zest. Hint of discreet oak. Loads of spice and rocks. Palate is energetic and fresh with lovely spring mint, sappy lemon, clean flavors of green apple skins and a long finish. Balanced and very pure. Amazingly clean. Lovely acidity and length. So so good.

On the nose, a lovely mix of apples, lemon, and a bit of saltiness.
On the palate, it was much less subtle, with ripe lemon, lemon zest, ripe apples, and wet stones. There was a distinct creaminess to the palate, but the acidity balanced it out well. Dangerously drinkable.
Overall, at about $22, it’s a delicious everyday wine that I look forward to tasting again with some seafood. It is somewhat straightforward, but it is also balanced and tasty...

I don’t have too much to say in this climate but I’m still drinking wine. The wine is good. Confectionary and mineral aromas. Really refreshing after getting beat on by cops. I only bought two bottles, should’ve bought more.
