Light-medium yellow. Aromatic apricot nose. Unique flavor profile, hard to describe but pretty fine, some complexity and a medium finish. Excellent quaff on a hot day. Very pleasant surprise, and a steal to boot. 4-12-16-8: 90/100.

This is a spectacular wine. The floral notes are the most powerful that I've ever tasted in a wine. The wine also expresses pungent lychee, grapefruit, apricot, and even white pepper. Yet it is light bodied. That's a good thing--or at least not a bad thing. This wine compliments foods, especially spicy foods, and it's not bloated and disgusting like so many wines these days.
This wine should be rated far higher than it is rated. The rating system unreasonably favors fat, unctuous wines over lean, lively wines.
And did I mention it is $9.99?

Enough acidity to go really well with spare ribs and sauerkraut.

Subtle floral nose. A touch too acid. Sweet but not cloying. Acid finish lingers too long to be pleasant.

Wild tropical nose. Exotic flavours that keep changing. Hints of apricot, guava, pinapple, grapefruit, honey and caramel. A steal.
