VC Review: Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet.
My notes: The nose on this white was tangy with aromas of lemon peel and honeysuckle, which was promising. But I did not like the taste of this wine. It was super sweet and surprisingly viscous. It had a eucalyptus, honey, and lemon component, almost as if I were drinking a sweet honey lemon cough drop. I don't know if it being a 2004 white had anything to do with this. It may have been past its prime, but I was really turned off by this one.
Food: n/a
