Nose is clean, with medium intensity. That bottle has been open a day so its showing some oxidation, which wasn't there yesterday of course.
I want to say the palate is off-dry but its hard to tell because the acidity is medium +, or even high for a Vouvray. The alcohol isn't noticeable to me, so medium. The body, suprisingly with acidity is medium + and the flavor intensity is medium+, showing right now mostly fruit characteristics, and because of this I find it enjoyable to drink now. The finish is lengthy, with the fruit holding on across the acidity, giving a very textured experience to the finish.
In short, this is very good in quality, it will improve, and its exciting to drinking because of the unqiue balancing act between acidity, fruit concentration and body.4,503 views
