Yeasty and mineral aromas from the cork. In the glass, elegant lime, freshly cut grass, hay, and hints of tropical fruit aromas. Light-to-medium bodied and bone dry with bright acidity. Flavour profile consists of wet stone, asparagus, herbaceous, lime, and green pepper. Nicely balanced with a lengthy finish that is spicy, lemony and white flowers notes. Quite complex. Highly recommended for dry white wine lovers. Tasted Apr/2014.

An excellent dry white to stand up to creamy pasta or chowder.
Decent wine, but I have had much better for less than twenty bucks. It does not have the magic in it do deserve a 90, in my opinion.
