  1st of 2 for me, and either this is on the down slope or just a bit of a flabby wine, as I'm missing the acidity to prop this thing up. Light golden color. Strong petrol, or in this case, really more straight up rubber ball, aroma which does soften a bit with air but never fully, along with pear, grapefruit, lemon, and lime. Full body, low acid, medium finish, and flavors of apple, pear, peach, lemon, and minerals. This is maybe just hinting at a suggestion of sweetness, but fairly dry, fortunately, due to lack of balancing acidity. Fair enough with food, but drink 'em if you got 'em.

  Like a lot of previous notes. That petrol aroma with Lemon, green apple on the palate. Bright crisp acidity with a lingering hint of vanilla sweetness. Very good wine!!

  Enjoyable if not outstanding (but what do you want at this price point?). Just opened - at fridge temp - felt somewhat over the hill and flat. As the temp came up and the wine opened in the glass the acidity sparked up and the aromas came to the fore. Strong petrol note for me, both on the nose and the palate. This is a feinherb that doesn't stray too far into sweet. Pleasant with food. Drink up. I think this is commencing its decline.

  This is light, crisp, and lovely. Bordering the sweet and dry styles, it's got a faint whiff of petrol on the nose, which is predominated by lovely peach, green apple, and stone notes. In the mouth, lively and delicious, with juicy stone fruit, green apple, and mineral notes. Bright acidity. A-

  A touch of sweetness, great nevertheless. Nice acidity and effervescence. Drinking well, maybe another year or two of peak flavor and brightness
