This was odd. Nice fruit forward nose and was quite good when first opened. Unfortunately this fell apart very shortly (about 20 minutes) after opening. Dominated by bitter notes and some light Sherry. Just not going on with it. Just as well that this is my only bottle. Perhaps a bit too old? Hard to tell, but I can't see this getting any better.

A private lunch (Restaurant Quinsou, Paris, France): Made from 100% Biancu Gentile, a grape variety I am not familiar with. Apparently it is from a 0.5ha vineyard planted in 1997, and it ages for 6-8 months on the fine lees in stainless steel. It is floral, soft and supple, with ripe citrus fruit and a touch of spice, and a nice minerality at its core, good length.
