The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet."
My Review: This wine was another one to exhibit a very interesting contrast between nose and palate experiences. It smelled exactly like gasoline. I wasn't extremely pungent, but that was definitely the predominating scent. One would think that such a harsh bouquet would translate similarly in flavor, but that was not the case here. This wine was very sweet, reminding me of some of the dessert wines I tasted back in February. It had flavors of vanilla, honey, melon, and papaya. The texture was smooth and almost creamy, and it left a delightfully light, sweet, honeysuckle-like aftertaste.
This wine was tasted without food.
