First wine in a while that I actually will drink and not taste. A deep golden aged color with a complex nose of savory/sweet. Caramel/foie gras, opulent. But a minerality emerges after 3-5 minutes. Beautiful fresh palate with some pretty notes of lime zest, light petrol and terrific finesse. Finishes light and citrusy with that lime showing on the finish. Will surely open up over the next few hours. Ready to go. UPDATE: on day 2 this improved vastly with lovely herbal aromas, and amazingly vivid and deep fruit and long complex finish. Wow. — 10 years ago

December 02, 2003. Jesse said: "This wine was very good. When I first pulled the cork, I noticed it smelled more like a red wine, even though it had a familiar white smell. Taste is very distinct - a bit sharp, a bit sweet, a bit dry. Definitely a keeper." — 11 years ago

UPDATE: "This wine might have made me nauseous the day after. Maybe it was because it was so tasty, I drank too much too fast? :)"
