Marine Coteaux du Cap Corse Vermentino
Coteaux Du Cap Corse, Haute Corse, Corsica, France
Seriously serious Corsican white. Reduced at first, a healthy shaking and vigorous swirling helped quite a bit. Started off closed and leesy, finished musky, deep and rich. Bergamot, quince on the palate, some real stony / saltiness on the finish. Acidity is more prickly than nervy. Really evocative stuff - tastes of the dramatic battles where the land meets the sea. Think heavier, oilier fish cooked in olive oil / butter / garlic. Nice discovery...

Last suitcase wine from brought home from Corsica. On the nose, ruby grapefruit, ocean spray (real ocean, not the juice), minerals. In the mouth, very saline with citrus, white flowers and excellent minerality. Long finish. Solid wine.

Pale yellow; lemon/lime pith, pungent blossoms, herbal notes, silex, seabreeze with smokey undertones; a citrus, mineral driven, salivating palate with a tacky mouth feel. Grapes on Argile and schist soils.
