Honeysuckle, and striking, pungent perfume. Fruit that has developed that floral, summer night quality. Plus confectionary, buttercream and mineral spice. A hint of golden raisin. Sweet but balanced with real bite. Very resonant and lively. — 2 years ago
Minerals, citrus zest, and a bit of florals, with lots of buttercream on the finish. — 23 days ago
Like a soapy tropical little German Pils from Scheurebe. Grapefruit scented mosaic hops and dank marijuana crystals. Hints of mango and papaya floating in the periphery. A body with some girth and buttercream to yang the ying of acid you couldn't complain about not even for a second. — 2 years ago

This is a Viognier wine from Northern Rhône, France. It offers beautiful floral and fruit aromas. It is aromatic. It has a waxy / oily mouthfeel.

Buttercream, apricot, lily, and lemons with a bit of sea shell. Yum! — 3 months ago
Fresh, light, simple, inexpensive, and elegant (both the Prosecco and linguine with clam sauce). Lemon, apple, pear, white peach, elderflower, with a hint of spearmint and a touch of buttercream. More concentrated on palette than nose. Lol that in Prosecco-parlance 13g/L of sugar qualifies as “Extra Dry.” That said, there is enough acid here to keep this wine refreshing , balanced, and food friendly. — 3 years ago
Coconut, buttercream. Not super complex, but delicious.
Really lovely Sauternes — 3 years ago

93 that is beginning to lean into 94. This 14 shows nice evolution but still needs 2-3 years before it hits the beginnings of its full stride.
