From a double magnum at a NYC restaurant. I really enjoyed this, even if I don't get WA's 96 point score. A medium acidic wine, with a medium-long finish and a nice aromatic nose. WA said, it was "cooling and soothing, yet refreshing ", and I'm inclined to agree with that. By the way, the double magnum was a huge hit with the restaurant's staff!

Very unique to my experience. Though I didn't get the fruit element that others have described, the mineral tones that came through were very refreshing. All finished with a good level of acidity. I'm not sure the price is justified by this bottle's performance, but for now willing to believe.

Wasn't quite sure what to make of this. David Schildknecht raved about this in the wine avocate. It's made of a myriad different corsican varietals and is all small production, artisanal etc (though cheap it ain't). Didn't find it particularly interesting. Pretty dry; not unlike a hunter valley semillon. Not verly long. Still pretty acidic.

Something Different-Corsica and Jura (Dig Wines, San Francisco): Dry, mouthfilling and expansive with deeply penetrating citrus. Great length. Like a great Alsatian Riesling with some Semillon sprinkled in for breadth and glycerine texture.
