Public Review: "30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apple flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables."
My Review: Nice, round, warm nose! Tastes like cheese, because of the malolactic fermentation.
With food?: No, although I had eaten a granola bar about 10 minutes beforehand.
Did buy?: No
