Beautiful golden colour. Truly alluring nose, with a nose of honeysuckle and dried tropical fruit, but also a subtle hint of earthiness. On the palate, initially quite dry, but the lushness soon takes over, with layers of desweetened tropical fruit. Very pleasant mouthfeel. There is a note of gooseberry that reminds me of sauvignon blanc. Some "funk" in the finish which alludes to wet fur. Do not serve with seafood.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
