New vintage, but still afflicted by a strange hovering pestilence in the vineyard. Better than phylloxera I suppose… But the tasting notes: orange color, excellent clarity. Not much on the nose. Decent acidity, dry, creamy finish with plenty of becoming skin tannins. Flavors are a mix of citrus and orchard fruit. Not getting much of the Muscat, though. 80/10/10 blend of Grenache, Grenache Blanc and Orange Muscat. I quite like the creamy, fruity finish.
