  Light yellow. Nose is fruity, aromatic, with notes of peaches, yellow plums, apricots, pears and almonds. Mouthfeel is full bodied, rich, with clean and pure fruit, moderate acidity, good balance, and with notes of peaches, apricots, yellow apples, pears and pomelo.
  
  A full bodied, slightly oily texture with great fruit, will match excellent with most fish and seafood.

  Typical aromatics for this wine, with some tropical fruit and floral notes. The palate is sneakily big, light-medium in weight but with a fuller texture, likely from the relatively high alcohol (listed at 14.5%). Still has some freshening acidity though. All in all, perhaps less well balanced for a bit of ageing than some other recent vintages.

  The aromatics are quite nice given the limited potential for white wine in this area. It does lack acidity to make it a better food companion...

  Flickinger Warehouse Tasting (Chicago, IL): Drinks kind of like a white rosé wine, whatever that means. This is very juicy, with a tinge of oiliness, with a pleasant, fruity disposition. Not too complex, but with lots of intense, sweet and herbal aromatics.
