  Pineapple, green apple unoaked ( I think).
  Reminds me of Planeta la Segreta.
  Nice crisp bite at the end. Not for the buttery Chard crowd.
  I love it.

  Straw yellow appearance. Nose - very spicy, distinctive nutmeg, maybe dried apricots. Taste - peach pits, almonds, passion fruit, coconut, nutmeg, sandalwood, and stony minerality. Pretty long finish too! This is a very strange wine that is not typical in any way for a modern white wine, but there's something strangely likable about it. With its low acids it almost drinks like a red wine... Crazy interesting!
  Most will not like this, but try with a heavy chicken and mushroom dish - stellar combo.

  This was the worst wine I've had in many years. It was undrinkable crap!

  This is easily one of the oddest white wines I have ever tasted. Initially, the nose is so insanely funky, laced with burning rubber, smoke, tar and even dish soap, it could pass for a red. There’s fruit there too, but it’s tough to find. The palate is austere, with some tropical fruit, and a crisp finish. After a day of air, the funky nose blew off, and some fruit (peach?) emerged on the nose, but the palate held its austerity. Wacky and weird - worth a try maybe but nothing more.

  Nose: very sweet fruits! Overripe pineapple, yellow apple, coconut water, apricot, clover honey. Surprising nose, and appealing! Taste: dry, heavy body. Strange cheesy mustiness to it, with powerful acidy, and mid length. This is the sharffe max of wines. Some fruit notes: yellow apple and a watery peach. Very odd. Don't really know what to make of this: goes straight up your nose like a stinky cheese. "Unique".
