Tasted November 15,2006 at an offline. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Straw color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Off nose of light petrol notes with some grasiness and maybe some peach. Bitter on the palate with some flavors of peach and grapefruit poking through. Light acidity and light body. No value recommendation; just a recommendation to pass.

We drank this bottle with some lite Thai food (peanut season chicken with stir-fried veggies and rice). The wine was a little disappointing. Too sharp in the beginning and lackluster finish. The nose had a nice fruity composition. Overall, not a bad wine, but we expected more.
