This is more like it. I did not enjoy the 2011 at all. This one has a little hit of lemon, orange and apricot that makes it respectable. Nice golden color. Youngish light nose shows some jasmine with lemon and glycerine. Not going to get any awards for depth and complexity, but basically competent and varietally correct. I get the impression there has been some filtering, leaving out some of the good stuff. Some wet shale and minerals with the lemon, peach and pear fruit. I would like a touch more acidity. Still, very OK for the price.
