The hint of elderflower is a lovely welcome aboard our flight back home from Cannes. If a champagne may be at once rich and refreshing, this one is. Sheer elegance in a glass. — 7 years ago
2014. Delicious lime, pink lady apple and elderflower fruit on the nose. Palate is concentrated, complex and rich with beautifully balanced fruit, sweetness and crisp acidity. Sublime & pure expression of Rheingau. — 8 years ago
Here's an interesting white wine from Hungary. Hárslevelű is a varietal usually used to blend in sweet Tokaj, but in the little known wine region of Somloi they make a single varietal dry wine.
A deep gold color. The tasting notes say elderflower on the nose, I got lemon and honey. A lot of crisp apple on the palate with some sweet spice anchored by a flinty, wet stone minerality that really all comes together on the surprisingly long finish. Very well balanced. Somehow refined and rustic at the same time.
Our server said that Hungarian wines are "the new big thing" right now. I can't find any evidence to support this bold claim, but this is Los Angeles and I guess you need to say things like that.
This was definitely a memorable wine that stuck with me since I drank it three days ago. Paired beautifully with a lamb belly salad and salted cod over polenta. So who knows, maybe a Hungarian wine moment is on the horizon after all. — 8 years ago
Stunning wine retaining freshness, elderflower and lemongrass, white flowers, all pumped up with a creamy oaky, vanilla note. Grapefruit, hint of Passionfruit sneaks in. But it's the palate where this kicks in. Good texture leading to a medium bodied wine, creamy, savoury, leesy, with peachy, tropical fruit, and only light green notes. This will give Pessacs a run for their moolah! — 9 years ago
Elderflower & honey. Wonderful to drink by itself, & not too overbearing where you can't enjoy with dessert. — 9 years ago

2008 Schiopetto Collio Pinot Bianco - Love the acidity of 2008! This wine is a great representation of how Pinot Blanc can age. Copper color. Creamy texture, honey, elderflower and dried apricot. Delicious! Drink now or hold for another 3-5. — 8 years ago
Classic Italian crisp dry white in structure but with lovely citrus and elderflower notes. Winemaking in Gavi has evolved beyond recognition and is a much better expression of Cortese than was the case a generation ago. — 9 years ago

Raspberry, floral, elderflower, refined tannins, drink now. — 7 years ago
This is a lovely drink on the rocks or as a gin tonic. I wouldn't suggest it as a martini. The initial hit of Elderflower and cardamom don't feel right to me that way though it finishes of spice and juniper. — 8 years ago
Very expressive nose with exotic scents of mango, lime juice, elderflower and hints of melon and green bell pepper. It is fresh in the mouth with a cracking acidity and a very light body. It is very light-bodied and delicate, yet tasty with a long pleasant finish. — 8 years ago
Sort of like running into Adriana Lima at Duane Reade; A sudden, unexpected rush of exotic beauty that leaves you a little uncomfortable.
Spotlight acidity offers a highlighting glow to an offbeat mix of ripe tropical fruit, elderflower and snowpea essences. — 9 years ago

Pale, copper color. Medium intense aromas of strawberries and dried herbs. Medium + intensity and body with pronounced flavors of elderflower, honey, strawberry, and hints of sage and elderflower. Refreshing acidity and a medium finish. Great wine for the last days of summer (or everyday in Bangkok!) — 11 years ago
