This is a nice approachable wine but nothing excellent. Good lemon peel, touch of light melon berry and white rose pedals on the nose. good acidity on the finish with a hint of white pepper and clean sharp fruit. 13% alcohol on this one but sits on tongue not in chest. maybe a touch hot. good drinking wine with or without food. would pair with nice chicken dish as has acidity to cut through.

The acidity characteristic of this wine in its youth mellows with age it it has become quite nice with a softer lemon balanced with a floral character
