This has a gorgeous bouquet; it smells of Mediterranean fields of underbrush, grasses, and pollinating wildflowers.
The palate is interesting, it shows some agreeable complexities, but it's a bit faint, not thin, just weak. I initially thought with air the palate would explode the way the bouquet does, but it didn't. Kept it for a second day just to be sure...no joy.
In sum, a very pleasant wine, that is not worth retail but for $12 is great value. If the palate was as good as the bouquet it would be wonderful.

Je ne bois jamais de vins corses, donc voilà une découverte. Le nez est ouvert sur la pomme, la poire, un peu de citron vert... la bouche est assez grasse, et je trouve que le vin est un rien chaud. Un vin d'une qualité certaine, cependant, pas vraiment convaincu à 20 euros - mais je pense juste ne pas être fan du vermentino. 14/20
