This tasted much older than a previous bottle we had. Can a premoxed bottle still be drinkable? apparently so, this had similarities to a lopez de heredia blanco.

Absolutely excellent for a chard under $20. A flowery, mineral, and crystalline nose gives way to a refreshingly acidic mouthfeel that not only has good weight but a surprisingly long finish. There is teeth shatteringly high acidity here that actually puts me in the Mosel. I bought this at auction so I'm uncertain about how it was stored but I will say this particular bottle is a pretty deep yellow and I picked up on a bit of oxidation so I would give this a try tonight in case yours is like my bottle. Finally a good wine from auction, now 1 for 4. High score for such excellent price to quality ratio.

Pale yellow with a hint of straw. Nice nose with apples, pears and a lemon to the fore. The palate transcends the nose with plenty of lemon and lime with an acidic mineral infused stone apple juice finish. There's plenty of complexity here, but the powerful acid and mineral is probably not in everyone's liking.That being said this is certainly a serious bottle of Bourgogne Blanc in its prime drinking window crying out for a suitable food pairing!

Nice balance with good acidity. Aged flavors of marzipan and almond with an odd hint of Gewurztraminer.
