Very interesting wine. Not sure if that is good or bad for this one. Deep yellow. Nose starts off toasty and buttery but then has a little sour citrus like lemon. Slight cat piss, dirty and lots of hay. Moderate acidity (5.5/10) and light bodied. Interesting flavors on the palate, besides the sour citrus it has some vegetal notes too. Similar to an orange wine. Very sour short finish, like strong lemons. Drink till 2018.
