  Nice light gold yellow color. Medium body. Hint of tropical flavors on nose. Clean style, not big creamy oak style. Balanced acid that really brings out the flavors. Finish is long.

  Had to find something that went with gorgonzola pear salad, butternut squash soup and herb pork loin. Although I would have liked to have had a 10yr old montrachet, this had to fill in as it was all I had here. And what a surprising job it did. Lots of good acidity here throughout. Medium+ bodied. Yellow fruit, not many tropical notes but did have more of a herbal characteristix and this hint of mushroom risotto in the background that was a bit intriguing but I do not feel this was a flaw or taint. Really quite a nice wine that I've not had, but learned 2 things about: 1. This drinks very 'old world' and 2. The 2016 I've been holding on to is likely ready to go.
