Bland. Poor pear syrup nose and slight honey/banana taste with low acidity and utter lack of freshness - I whiffed grapefruit at one point but never noticed it again. Quaffable at best, but seriously off with most foods. Avoid.

I loved the richness with this wine. Fig, pear and nuts on the nose. The palate is delicious, there is fruit richness with corresponding acid to play off as well as a tantalising lick of residual sugar and textural interest. I found this to be quite Alsatian in style and extremely impressive overall.

Pale yellow; floral, pears, minerals; ripe pear, light body, citrusy acidity, good balance, lingering finish. Dry yet noticeably ripe fruit with good minerality. Lightly styled and palate-cleansing finish. Yummy.
