  Natural cork. Popped and poured into a Glasvin Universal. 100% Muscat Ottonel from 45 year old vines.
  
  Cooling nose with scoops of coconut, pineapple, and maybe suggestion from the note below, lychee. That mildly bubblegum scent is here too. The palate is light, bright, and forward, with a refreshing tropical character. The acid here is excellent and well balanced, and the 2.5 g/L RS is probably not really detectable but then the suggestion of sweetness really plays nice with the tropical fruit theme. The finish is fairly long for this kind of drink, and adds a dash of bitterness to the mix which really keeps this from getting boring. Not to belabor the point, but the perfect setting for this wine would be at a resort with a tropical ceviche or something. It’s like a piña colada with bitters, but really not at all that loud. I want more of this next summer.

  刚开瓶有些白胡椒粉和打火石粉末的味道，晃杯后消失。清脆的白桃、姗姗来迟的荔枝和荔枝蜜以及成熟的橘子香气，慢慢衍生出白花香（乃至带有轻微精油感），香气结实，艳而不俗。口感偏饱满，微咸，酸度较高，果味绵柔油润里带骨感，白桃、荔枝蜜、橘子、金银花和白玫瑰相映成趣，后段有些矿物和香料粉味，收尾较长。92/100
