Yeah... are the apples rotten, or just tired? Not a butte to write home about.

Smelt like nail varnish, and bubble gum, tasted like neutral nothingness.

Would have been better if the server was not mean to us.

Limestone and lanolin on the nose, with hints of lemon pith and spring blossoms coming through. A little oily on the palate, but opens with ripe lemon and grapefruit, finishing with white peaches, juicy nectarines, and hints of white peppercorn, Juniper berries, and and river stone. Lovely, acid-driven and bone-dry wine!
