PNP. cork wet halfway up. light straw color. nose is mineral driven and some lemon curd. swishing this shows creamy acidity structure that gets tart on the finish, and there is a hint of nuttiness that i think is consequent to some oak in there. this is pretty alive despite 11 yrs but i think that it will continue to become more secondary and would drink near term (if i had any more).

Pale gold, showing some oxidative fruit character, bruised apple, dry honey, hay, crushed stone, lean texture with a slight creaminess from some perceived malo. No oak presence. Drink over the next 3-5 years.

Been a long time since I had Aligote. Great length and mineral feel in the mouth slightly spicy excellent. Has the classic Ramonet mint finish really good

brief note. this was very nice. definite oak influence, but acidity keeps this lively and fruit is adequate. not so great with ceviche or prawns.
