Interesting how this wine changes from sniff to swallow. Comes of sweet and oxidative, then bay laurel, then citrus on the palate.

Don't sit and sip this wine! It's not for a porch session or "the ladies who lunch." It's briny, savory and luscious. Have her with foods like crab, sushi, flounder. I'm sipping this alone and all of a sudden I feel U should be cooking, and I can't cook!

I've never had a wine quite so fruitily citrus - ripe, juicy lemons and oranges. Floral too, with orange blossom. High acidity. Best with food - drank it with chicken, turnip, leek, carrot dish.
