I think we hit the jackpot with this wine. Fleshy, ripe, aged correctly, and balanced perfectly. The group loved this wine, and was a candidate for wine of the night! Green apple, tropical fruits, and citrus dominate. Damn good wine for the money and a repeat wine for sure. This wine is in it's prime. Delicious.

Brilliant straw color with medium intensity and light legs. Nose of lemon and apple. pear flavors which fade fairly quickly. Very light off-dry moderately to highly acidic. Would be a nice wine paired with Thai Cuisine.

alsatian tasting (Binny's South Loop, Chicago IL): nose a loaded nose brings about all sorts of minerals and petrol fighting for supremecy with bits of apple cores. This is bordering on a petrol bomb and is almost there, but the minerals are holding it back
taste: all of the petrol on the nose had me a bit worried, but instead what you get is a very balanced and tart wine filled with various oils, petrol, minerals and some tart citrus tones working well together in a nice light feel
overall: very smooth, which was a bit unexpected in all honesty. The nose was close to be overwhelming on the petrol, but the palate was very smooth and enjoyable great medium acidity and a nice petrol finish

Binny's Alsace Tasting (Binny's South Loop, Chicago): Mostly petrol on the nose accompanied by a hint of peach. Palate is nice with lemon & peach flavors over a mineral backbone. Good, rich fruit finish.
