Wonderful nose but the palate didn't seem to match it. I got sea breeze and minerals on the nose. It was wonderful to smell. The palate didn't have the zing I want from a Chablis. There were some pleasant nutty flavors, some sharp citrus but nothing very complex. I still enjoyed it. I brought this to a dinner of Mediterranean food where I had nothing in my wine cellar to match the meze. I just brought a wine I would like. I blew up my palate when I ate some pharmaceutical-grade mint so I couldn't follow how the wine evolved. A Kermit Lynch import.

PNP; pale yellow; nose of grapefruit; palate grapefruit, almond, minerals with hint of pencil lead, tingly spiciness (slight effervescence?); delightful mouthfeel; nicely balanced acid; a simple wine of no pretense.
