It's not like it's bad wine or anything. But its oddly powdery and chalky in the mouth, and not chalky as in mineral like Champagne. chalky, as in classroom chalk powder. This wine is disjointed and to me, brings little joy. There is a pleasing bitterness on the finish, though. Trying to find something nice to say.
Update on day 4 - the wine is much better now, with clean flavors of almonds and marzipan, and the bitterness on the finish is also almondy. There is some light peach fruit too. It's nice now. But it's hard to plan 4 days in advance for a wine like this.

Pale straw in color. Full, forward & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, pears/peaches & citrus notes of lemon zest with lovely floral overtones, slightly stony and minerals. Light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, zesty, dry ripe fruit flavors of lemons, pears & apples with minerals. Lingering finish. Quite enjoyable at present with an excellent QPR.

Tart and crisp. Not much on the nose. Nice citrus end notes. Complemented the savory flavors of onion galette.
