Interesting and good — lighter and some fruit but mostly earth. Kurt wine. Would try again.

Great with spicy Western Chinese noodles. Needs some time to open up.

Not special, but very pleasant. A lovely summer wine with just enough acidity to make it refreshing.

I struggled with this wine. It’s really big, dry, and not too tannic. However, it’s so restrained that on its own the complexity of its flavor is lost. Needs a good long time to aerate in the glass. Running it through an aerator opened it up a bit, but still a very tight wine.
