  Stelvin closure
  
  This was a neglected bottle we finally opened to pair with teppanyaki and sushi. Went a treat and the wine is surprisingly stable and fresh at 6 years.
  
  Characteristic litchi and jasmine shine through. Bone dry finish. Delicious.
  
  Drink up

  100% Malvoisie
  Oeil : paille léger, très forte viscosité en parois, larmes très lentes
  Nez : projection d'intensité 7/10, frais, très floral rappelant la fleur de tilleul, paille séchée, fruité blanc avec un petit côté à la fois croquant et exotique, pierre à fusil, iode, herbe fraîche, chair d'agrume (amers), menthe, superbe...
  Bouche : sec, gras, acidité rafraîchissante, amertume moyenne-forte, persistance moyenne+, rétro florale, fruitée, minérale+, amère
  Conclusion : excellent!
  90+

  Bättre än förväntat. Toner av vit persika, fläder, mineral, blommighet och ganska rent avslut. Lagom syra. Lite grapefrukt i avslutet.

  A grown up grapefruit and lychee soda, without the carbonation, but I did detect a little RS. This is lots of fun, and it's the gewurztraminer haters answer to a wine with over the top floral aromas and personality plus. Birichino makes wines with distinctive labels, from underutilized varieties at reasonable prices, but I think the wines aren't great values over all as the winemaking seems a bit sloppy--the RS, the simple flavors. Dancing Coyote is doing something similar and, IMO, doing it better. Still, there's a place for this wine, if you can pry white wine drinkers in the $10-15 price range away from chardonnay.
