This is far from a perfect wine. However, it does have a sort of "wild charm" to it that comes mostly from its nose, which featured permanent marker, motor oil, and damp earth. There might have been some bright fruit hiding in the background. It sounds absolutely terrible, but it was actually interesting and enjoyable for me. The palate was closer to a sauv blanc because of a certain raw grassiness in addition to citrius flavors. The acid was at a comfortable level for me, and there was no butteriness to be found.
Not sure I would buy this again, but I liked it for what it was, and would call it "average-to-good," 79/100.
