N: Lemons with notes of minerals & a sense of oiliness?
P: MF body; RNDISH entry with almost swtish frt adequately backed up by acidity; LONG, very, VERY slightly tangy finish. A *steal* @ the purchased (closeout?) $3.95! 13% ABV; [As of early Mar '19, wine-searcher still shows 1 U.S. vendor @ $21, though I'd have to wonder if, by now, this isn't VERY long in the tooth. :( ]

P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with almost swtish frt nicely balanced by acidity which fairly seamlessly morphs into a amazingly LONG (for this price), at times almost butterscotchy (the age?), but ULTIMATELY clean, crisp finish. FANTASTIC QPR @ this vendor's $3.95 for drinking over the next 6 mos or so. [I'm thinking that originally this went for at LEAST 5-6 *times* this price!] [My score takes this QPR into account.] 13% ABV

Bottle from ML. Drank with with pizza. Medium light gold look. Lemongrass on the nose. Maybe a little floral. A bit pungent, but not unpleasant. Medium acidity, medium body. Cut through the cheese fat nicely. Simple wine. Soft clean finish. Held up to the pizza. Enjoyed, but not memorable.
