JAKE112380 & CELESTIALMUNDANE's TNs cover it well. Round with just the right amount of texture. Though this is not the supposedly typical varietal to pair with the Slovenian dish "Jota" (stock, beans, sauerkraut, potatoes, turnips, smoked pork ribs, etc.), it paired very well on a rainy night. It's the wine's element of honeyed smokiness that really brings it to the dish. 14% abv

Golden straw color. Fragrant with lychee and pear. Medium body. Soft in the mouth with both minerality and fruit. Medium finish. Easy to drink with food or without.

This may be past its prime, or a flawed bottled. Smells and tastes a little sherried. I won't wait long to open my last bottle.

Soft honeydew, apple, pear. Mild acid. Pretty similar to last time, but softer and mellower.
