Sunday, May 21, 2023 - Appearance- clear, medium gold
Nose - clean, youthful, very vibrant. Medium plus intensity. Notes of lemon curd, smells like a lemon meringue pie filling. You get some of the buttery crust. Baking spices, but they are secondary to the LeMon curd. Pick up a bit of spearmint on nose.
Palate- very vibrant. Acidity is medium plus. Wine is fresh tasting. Lots of that lemon curd flavor. Ripe sweet and acidic. Dances on palate. Finish is medium plus. It’s a juicy wine. Body is medium plus. It tastes balanced and is drinking nicely.
I like this wine. I suspect I over paid a bit (in the $20s NYC pricing) so if you can get it in the teens this is a very good buy. Can see this pairing with a range of foods, fish, seafood, chicken, even a pork dish. Alcohol is medium and integrated. Screw cap makes it appear less but adds to the convenience. I would buy this again.
