Golden yellow medium weight. Citrus in the nose. Decent acid with good minerality with heavy citrus flavors. Oily mouthfeel with good tart finish. Main flaw is that it is just too tart. No residual sugar detected. Tastes like its still got some years left though its already 6 years old.
Have a second bottle which I will hang on to for awhile just to see how it changes with more age, but the taste is consistent with notes from 2 years ago.

I enjopyed this much more than the tasters below seem to have. Been saving this bottle for over a year and a half and finally popped it with friends. Definitely a well-made and fun to drink example of white wine as a fruit bomb...slightly oily texture with some decent acidity, lots of tropical character including canteloupe which was really fun. Extremely delicious although I think the somewhat spicy food paired with it obscured a bit of the nuance. Shame this was my only one.

This bottle is terrible. Light weight, no minerality. Expect an oilyness and that's missing too.
Horribly bitter. Bad bottle

Golden yellow color. Tropical fruit nose with some vanilla notes. Tastes of lemon and lime with some chalky notes. Sharp, tart finish.
