  Tasted at the winery whilst on tour with Tim Syrad Wine Tours.
  
  Put aside all memories of retina of the 70s and 80s. This is modern and well made.
  
  Very light gold. Light lemon and citrus. It's pleasant but doesn't excite me.

  Drinkable, but that's the most I can say for it. Very mild resin... which instead of helping, hindered, as taste has a hint of cardboard (and no, it wasn't corked). No fruit, very limited aroma. Wouldn't buy again.

  Very pale straw with a very slight pink tinge.
  A remarkably normal nose reminiscent more of a semillon-chenin than anything else. Plenty of lemony citrus and a touch of grassy herbs. I can't say I can detect any pine at all, and I *am* looking for it.
  Lovely palate: lots of lemon, some crunchy green apples. Loads and loads of acidity. There's just a hint of something a little unusual lending it a richness, before a heavily textured, citrussy finish. A very, very, very slight hint of a very fresh fino.
  Others are finding much more piney-ness in it, but I simply don't: maybe mine is a duff bottle! but a duff bottle that makes a really nice wine.
  A lovely wine, but I can't help but feel it's not making the most of its one item of uniqueness.

  London Calling; 1/15/2020-1/17/2020 (Londres - GB): Aromatically very neutral with hints of pine resin and a few else but a direct, good acidity in the mouth that really refresh. Back to the sink in spite I have to pay for it. Like a sherry the waiter said ... C'mon, get the f#ck out of my space sunny.
  
  Aromáticamente neutro con pinada y poco más pero con una buena acidez en boca que refresca. Devuelto a corrales pese a que tengo que pagarlo. ¿Como un jerez dice el camarero? Los cojones treinta y tres ..

  Light and easy for a retsina, with rosemary oil and lemon peel, even a touch nutty. Tasty, pleasant, and for $9 (Binny's), a steal.
  
  Had with Ottolenghi lamb rosettes marinated in lemon and thyme; roasted almond-orange blossom-coriander sauce, pea shoots, and Aleppo za'atar focaccia. Tough pairing and this one captured everything like a big bossman.
