Description from the Vintage Cellar: "Brilliant
straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of
pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy
drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste."
My Review: The wine tasted and smelled slippery, like soapy bubbles. I thought that it was very crisp, but not fruity or floral. I picked up more hints of lettuce and grass, rather than stone fruits. Perhaps that was the hint of almond poking through?
