Medium light, very bright gold color. Intensely saline/chalky/minerally nose whose fruit profile features intense green apples and crisp, slightly underripe peach scents. Lean, intense, chalk and stone-laced flavors attack the palate, with some slightly bitter green apple skin and straw flavors. Needs time to settle down, but should get even better. The intense acidity and good length bode well for ageing. B++. Imported by J&R Selections. Was $21 at Spec's on Weslayan.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
