  Muscat tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, very pale intensity, lemon colour with grayish green tinge. Thin legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of honey mustard, dirt earth, vegetal leaf, canned peach. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, low alcohol ?(10.8%), medium- body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of tomato leaf, peaches, sweet-sour plum, savoury eaerth and wet stone minerality. Exudes a sort of creaminess with more air. Medium- finish.
  Good quality. Interesting unique wine. Not for further ageing.

  A fascinating wine with a beautiful freshly crushed tomato vine vegetal note on the nose with accents of white peach which carried on to the palate with good acidity. Remarkably savory for a Muscat, it paired very well with a range of Chinese dishes.

  On opening, it tasted like it had gone past drinkable...but...it changed after 5-10 min. Dry, very easy to drink, floral notes are slightly weaker then i would like. High acid, tastes of ripe honeydew and some sweet-sour plum ( this is the taste which makes me feels like its on the edge of drinkability.

  Had this on a warm summer day in the late afternoon and it was refreshing and bright. Looks like colored-water, light-weight, dry, crisp acidity with tart fruit, and floral and citrus notes. Nice alternative to sauvignon blanc for those who don't care for the green, grassy notes of many SBs.

  Almost clear with tinge of slate golden color. Nose profusely aromatic, grapey and floral, sweet candied lychee — like a moscato. Palate shockingly dry, light body, almost watery, with bracing acidity, finish with the slightest hint of grapey sweetness. Initially matched with gingery/garlicky dumplings but was overshadowed, much better with slightly fatty/salty sausage; it would be great with a fatty nutty mild cheese (per J). Wished for more depth but a quaffable (10.9% abv) aperitif-style wine
  
  Update: recorked and kept in fridge. On retasting after a few days, much better paired with a mild chicken sausage and cheesy fries. More weight and depth, still has good floral nose and white apricot flavors on palate. Bumping up a point
