Good. Bright acidity that reminds me of mid-tier Muscadet. I opened this to try with a fritata on a lark, but it would be better suited to shellfish, something like scampi or mussels.

Some ups and downs with this. Standard nose. The attack is fairly potent, the mid-palate comparatively weak. The back and finish reveal an alkaline-like grip...and also hints of bitter greenishness. Overall, it's a nice wine. 86-87

Had an effervescent, with the first tasting so a single Harlem aeration was in order; which helped the wine IMO. Citrus, flowers, and a very short finish.

Citrus with a hint of grapefruit and a definite mineral note. There is a bitter finish that detracts from the drinking.
