More tropical than the other few Timorasso’s I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Lovely.

Going to parrot the quinine comment, nice little tonic water nose. Pineapple but as if it were a pineapple curd and not just a fresh piece of fruit. Pineapple pie? No biscuit tho. Tropical fruit nose, great acidity, I really think this would be a different dimension with 10 years in the bottle, but as it is it’s a very tasty, unique wine. Maybe most comparable to something like Priorat blanc or some Portuguese white wines I’ve tasted, plenty of mystique, bright tropical fruit, grippy acidity and a mineral quality that verges on tannic. Cool, would love to have more.
