This may be past its prime. The lemon notes are still there but it just wasn't as crisp as i remember. Still a good wine, its just lost a little something.

A nice pear aroma fills the glass. Paired with grilled swordfish. I made a sauce with sautéed shallots, capers,and garlic-- reduced with bit of this wine and finished with butter. The pairing brought out the citrus notes in the wine. The bright acidity and minerality complimented the fish very well. Also had a baguette with olive oil and aged balsamic which rounded out the wine and brought out the almond character reminiscent of a light Roussanne. The Picpoul's citrus persisted in the back of the palate. A very good food wine. On its own Meyer lemon on mid-palate.

Flavors of sweet lemon. Went great with cajun spiced fish and shrimp.
