Winery Review:
Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif. (The Vintage Cellar)
My Review:
The very first thing I smelled after taking a big whiff was a strong citrus smell. Reading the official review, I didn't see any citrus fruits listed so I think I still need more practice identifying smells. After my first taste, I felt that it hit the tongue with a strong taste and I again tasted something citrusy. As I was tasting the wine, I read the review but didn't really notice any of the hints of pears, apricots or bananas but I definitely noticed the floral taste.
