This wine grew on me over the course of 2 nights. White grape and kiwi flavors are complemented by its medium-light framework, a nicely restrained floral dimension, a texture of polished stones, and subtle minerality. Not the first word in complexity, but there is more to this wine than the somewhat disjointed first sips implied. Would consider repurchasing at or below its $25 purchase price.

Coravin'd a couple ounces. 70% Friulano, 15% Malvasia, 15% Ribolla Gialla. Lemon color. Pear, peach, apricot, melon, white flower, perfume, minerality on the nose. More apple and pear, melon, almond and herbal on the palate. Medium acidity, medium+ body and alcohol (13.5%). Medium+ finish. The first few sips seemed a bit harsh and bitter, but then it got fruitier, with the stone fruit kicking in. Looking forward to a bigger sample next time.

Amertume assez marquée. Finale un peu dure.
Pas mal, mais pas au point d'en racheter.
