(Blind)
The wine is pale gold in colour. It has medium+ intensity - developing - aromas of ripe to jammy green, citrus, stone and tropical fruit (soft pear, lemon, peach, pineapple) with hints of oak (vanilla), MLF (creaminess, butterscotch) and wine gums. The wine is dry towards off-dry on the palate with medium to medium+ acidity, high warming alcohol, full body and medium+ intensity flavours reflecting the nose. Medium+ finish.
Good to very quality. The fruit is expressive and well-defined and well complemented by oaky complexity. Concentration is good, but the acidity is slightly too weak, and the alcohol slightly too warm.
Er umiddelbart ude i en oversøisk viognier eller noget hvid Rhone. Relativ ung vin (2014). Fadlagret pinot gris som mulig outsider...

Hmmm! Jeg fejlvurderede (en smule) syre og alkohol (13,92%), hvilket måske blev udslagsgivende. Det må næsten være egetræet, der hjælper til med at brænde i munden så. God vin, men der er dælme langt til Loire...
