"Green-tinged straw. White flowers, lime and lemongrass on the lively nose. Dry and nervy, offering refreshingly bitter citrus fruit flavors and a touch of quinine. The citrus quality dominates the clean, incisive finish. No fat here. (JR)" - 88 points - wineaccess.com
My Review:
I felt as though the nose of this wine was off putting, in that it smelled like dirt, earth worms, and grass. However, the taste was consisted of heavy minerals and iron. This wine was like anything I have tasted before, the initial taste was was earthy and full of minerals, but as it evolved I tasted hints of lemon and berries. The finish of the wine was not earthy, but crisply fruity and enjoyable. The complexity of this wine was very interesting and unlike anything I have had before
I did not taste this wine with food.
