Tasted On 06/26/2009

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous nose--butterscotch and caramel, with an overarching sense of sweetness that I've never encountered in a dry white wine. On the palate the win is incredibly round and rich, with floral and citrus flavors. The acidity must be there--there is nothing cloying about it--but it is wrapped in such richness that it is barely discernable. Caramel returns on teh finish to leave you yearning of another sip. Easily the best white wine I have ever had, and overall WOTY candidate.

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.
