-- Full: There is considerable fruit on the nose - green grapes (a wine that smells like grapes? incroyable!) with strong lemon and a hint of a diametrically opposite smell - perhaps overripe canteloupe. Sweet with balancing acidity, the body was unremarkable on the midpalate. In the finish, where tannins would take hold in a red wine, the flavor suddenly vanishes, leaving a tasteless but faintly sweet and viscous feeling, slightly warmed by alcohol. I know glycerol is viscous, and I've read that it imparts a slight sweetness to wine, so I'm going to guess that this finish is mostly glycerol.

Pale gold color. Nose of citrus fruit and minerals. Medium intensity. Rich tastes of grapefruit, lime, and pears balanced by minerality. Long pleasing aftertaste. Great with food. A well made wine.

Barmes-Buecher in Princeton (The Princeton Corkscrew Wine Shop, Palmer Square): Nice fruit on the nose with strong lemon and a surprising hint of overripe melon. Sweetness is supported by acidity. Interesting flavorless glycerine finish. Balanced and pleasant.$16.5. Tasted at the Corkscrew.
