2023 Day Wines Vin de Days Blanc
5/19/2024 - TannicBeast Likes this wine: 90 Points
A fun blend of 23% Pinot Gris, 22% Riesling, 21% Pinot Blanc, 20% Muller Thurgau & 14% Muscat. Intensely aromatic nose of honeysuckle, ripe lemon, lime, peaches & honey. Slightly off-dry, w/ med to med+ acidity, med alcohol (12%) and a creamy mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with med+ flavor intensity and length. Very quaffable by itself, but also a fun accompaniment for spicy or sweeter foods that benefit from a little RS. Drink now, not intended for aging, although it should show well for several years.

From a MGA vineyard near Neive. Decanted. Med ruby, w/ a garnet hue. Clean, med+ ripe red cherries, dried red roses, tobacco and just a touch of neutral oak. Dry, w/ plenty of fruit left. Med to med+ acidity, med, resolved tannins & high alcohol (14%). Med+ flavor intensity & length. It is drinking really well now, w/ several years of development left. It is not a standout wine, but is drinking much better than expected given some of the prior reviews.
