Much from previous note, but richer body compared to year and a half ago, albeit with less fresh acidity and citrus and more aged lemon. Still the softer fruits like melon & peach . Over two+ days got progressively fuller and smoother, and the richness came to be quite lovely.

Really interesting wine. Served with grilled tuna w pesto, grilled corn on cob & fresh salad greens. Nice lemon/honey nose with rich rather than intense citrus to go with floral overtones. Medium to full body that layers nicely. On the palate there is subtle backdrop of a rich fruit sweetness and flavor sensation--not exactly cherry but that is what I thought of. Other reviewer mentioned peach and that may be what I am getting. Only adds to the fine mineral and acid balance and to the overall experience.

Very aromatic, some of the usual vermentino perfume mixed with yellow peach and melon flavors. Not a lot of acidity, but nice weight from dry extract and some seaside saline minerals help balance this. Held up very well overnight. Went well with pasta and white clam sauce. Nice wine, pretty typical for Corsican vermentino.

Too warm fresh from the cellar, but good. Buttery (perhaps a bit oaked), melon, maybe honeydew, and rose on the palate. Clean finish.
