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.
