Nose: This is what I like about this wine. Nose is rather old world. Bees wax, skin contact, with hints of agave syrup and petrol underneath it. As it airs and opens, fruit (pear) begins to show more.
Palate: Bone dry. Medium-light body. Petrol jumps out, overshadowing the fruit. Slight bitter end. Medium acidity.
Finish: Feel the weighty coat on tongue, which I also didn't expect from the light body. No fruit in the finish. All bees wax. But very mild. Kind of a hollow finish.
Overall: Like the nose quite a bit, but palate and finish were lacking. I'd enjoy this with a salad or raw/crudo seafood. Doesn't do well drinking by itself.
I want a hamachi crudo right now...

Mine was leaking around the cork, so I cracked it open sooner than I probably would have. It was spritzy, but otherwise tasted decent if a bit odd. That said, I doubt this was a sound bottle the way Chris Brockway intended it. Big bummer.

Spritzy! Did not expect that.
