Outstanding wine, and the wine of the night. Brightly alive and in balance with the fruit on the palate. This is a counter-intuitive wine for me...instead of a wine that's perceived as sweeter than it really is (like a lot of rieslings and gruñere), this wine is far brighter than the underlying sweet might otherwise provide. Think fruit tarts and challenging desserts. Match-chocolate shortbread, berries, and citrus fruit-based desserts were all great with this wine. I wish that I could consistently get this kind of wine for the appropriate moments.

To me this was off balanced - too much tart on the palate for a dessert wine.
