Dare I say Brazil nuts? Rubber plant? I guess you could say rotten apricots but in an exemplary manner. A hint of gunsmoke finishes this wine with panache

Ripe pear, some lemon, a bit of plastic on the nose, beeswax and honey, some herbs. Pretty high acid, medium body, some light tannins or minerals on the finish. Not very compelling or complex, but a pretty good wine. Overnight in the fridge it became a complete bottle. Balanced, modest, but juicy and delicious.

Peaches, white flowers and honey with some flint and herbs. Honey color with a nice medium+ body, jasmine flowers, peach and Asian pear. Decent QPR.
