  An interesting wine. Sylvaner with some character. Initial glass had some crisp fruit to it, then it became more off dry in character, with quite a rich, not quite oily texture. I can see why the other reviewer mentioned Chenin.
  
  It was drunk over 3 nights, and went best with scallops and black pudding, which the off dry and quite robust nature stood up to quite well.
  
  I preferred the DC Rieslings, but this was an interesting and reasonable value wine which will go well with quite a few different foods.

  Un vin tout à fait déroutant.
  
  Ce sylvaner est pour moi atypique.
  Les agrumes laissent la place très rapidement à une bouche ressemblant quelque peu au chenin.
  La finale oscille entre le sucre d'orge et les arômes d'herbe fraichement coupée.
  
  Original.
  On ne sait trop s'il est est toujours de cette personnalité ou si l'effet millésime a joué.
  
  Je vais réessayer.
  Ce vin pique ma curiosité.

  This is a serious sylvaner. Fulll bodied, ripe, yet showing mineral depth.
