  This is dazzling. Has the vervey acidity of Chablis and beautiful Sicilian minerality. Nose features stone, honeyed lemon, apricot, peach, bay leaf, and dried white flower. Medium bodied with lively acidity and a slightly texturally girtty mouthfeel. The flavor profile is slightly salty and honeyed, featuring apricot, bitter melon, lemon zest, mandarin, and white pepper. Seems to be at its pinnacle, I can see this developing some bitterness soon.

  I agree with Ian d'Agata's note. Pretty darn good. I loved the honeyed note on the finish.

  A bottle from the wine list in an Italian restaurant,
  reminds a little of a good white burgundy, very well structured with length, depth and some silky flow, good grip and a very floral showing, some citrus fruit though, good convincing finish,
  very good pairing with salmon/asparagus pizza and tuna tartar with strawberry, **(*-?), around 88- 91?

  Clean, clear, very pale lemon (almost colorless)
  Oak, hints of lemon butter, stone fruit
  Nicely balanced. Acidity is spot on. Medium finish. Light (+) in body
  Citrus and stone fruit. Good minerality. Oyster shell. (+1 pt for QPR)
  
  This is fantastic wine for the price point. Case worthy. This wine offers something for both ides of the Chard equation. Its right in the middle of the taste profile. Could not be more balanced.
  
  Smoked a Liga Privada T52
