careyd Likes this wine: 86 points
September 24, 2010 - Color: Pale yellow, clear, slight frizzante. Nose: Loads of lemon and citrus, with some honeysuckle. Also a hint of stone. On the palate: Smooth textured, tart lemon, hint of peach (from the weight) and some nice stony minerality. the finish is a tad sour but still quite good and crisp. The wine is actually fairly dry at 11.7 ABV but gives the impression of sweetness with the fruit and texture. Still, there's some residual sugar there...just not a lot. I came to this wine with very low expectations, thinking it was headed for 78-81 point territory, so the 86 I'm scoring it is really a reflection of how it turned my head. My palate still prefers off-dry German rieslings from the Mosel and Rheingau, but this is still quite good for the price.
