2005 Dirler Muscat Grand Cru Searing

Light, pale yellow. Extremely aromatic nose of lychee, citrus oils, coriander spice. A floral honeysuckle and creme soda note also there. Quite exotic. The palate is bone dry with a pleasant medium body - not crisp like a Riesling and not oily like a Gewurz. Finishes with zesty grapefruit rind.

$35

A- : a great example of dry Muscat, although a touch more acid would make it complete.

Paired with an Italian crottin-style cheese.
