Color is a light golden straw. Nose is spicy and fruity. The taste starts out fruity and then a nice acidity is evident. Finish is smooth on the tongue with a bite at the end. Over three days the bite became stronger. Last glass had a good bit of oxalate crystal in a single mass

Light straw, 5% saturated. Light nose of melon, stone fruit, lemon and orange peel, and something funky like steaming hot dogs and shoe leather. Bitter palate, high acidity, and greasy flavors. This is not flawed, it's just cheap and belongs on the bottom shelf at Trader Joe's. Recommend overpowering it with some curry - that was the only way I could tolerate. Not "groovy" (4+6+8+3) = 71

Worried it would be past it's prime. Still enjoyable. Sweet. Fruity.

Wine Marketing Tasting (Newport): Not bad. Notes of asparagus. Not really that good, either. 82-83
