Community Tasting Note

oenanthe Likes this wine:

Wednesday, January 26, 2022 - Yellowy gold. A superb nose, sharp, pungent and aromatic green fruit. As with all wines of this nature 'sec' is not really dry, what it really means is "the driest possible and the others we make are a lot sweeter". So this has a distinctive sweetness to it, but this translates into an attractively rich mouthfeel rather than being cloying in any way. It is also crystalline, there is an excellent balance of acidity that takes over past the first taste and which keeps this wine fresh (as a daisy frankly even at 13yo). It was just lovely. Honied notes and yellow fruits prominent. A wine for sipping on its own if you fancy it before a meal, or it will pair with many foods. We had this with low-rent chicken and chips and it was wonderful. I will be honest and say that this is not a wine I would like to drink regularly, but that takes nothing away from what is a high quality bottle and I am very glad I have a case. No hurry either.
