Enjoyed this more than previous. Interesting to see a note RE seashell as there was the slightest hint of this for a moment, but passed quickly. There was also a bit of gunk on the rim again, hmmm. Still, the wine was very nice drinking, a blend of fresh fruit, floral elements, some minerality, but I think also comes off as a bit rounder than previous. A clear sense of quality in here and enjoyable if not my favorite profile of flavors

Lots of mineral/stone, quite tart, dry. A hint of metallic or slightly unpleasant seashell too (no actual seafood today, but hint of that unpleasant sensation of [red] wine and fish combo). Fine drinking, but I wonder if this bottle is a little off (there was some deposit in the ring of screw cap). Certainly drinkable still, but I was hoping for more.

First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): Served blind. Lime, lemon, citrus generally, a little peel/zest as well on the nose...harvested young? Medium plus intensity acidity, textured mid palate, a little sharp citrus, alcohol warmth on the finish and a fair amount of bitterness. I guessed new world, Yankee, Sthn Rhone blend 4-5 years old

Nose is floral and flinty, I get 'static electricity', then subdued and pretty fruit with melon, apple, citrus, and stone that is both soft and with tart edge. A lot going on, and long finish.

Easy drinker. Decent Blend. Viognier took over. Good value.
