85/100 45

Pale, developed colour. Fine, slightly nutty wine. Not demonstrably varietal but attractive with impressive purity, an ethereal texture and a lingering finish. Made in a dry(ish) style with flavours that are more about yeast lees than fruit character. Interesting wine that's sio unusual its hard to score.
