Nice nose with tropical fruit, pear, melon and subtle spice...everything is good so far. Then the first sip - this stuff burns like hell going down, almost vodka-like. Hoping it would mellow out in time for our Mediterranean pasta with roasted red pepper basil, anchovies and capers topped with shaved Parmesan...Mmmm. Nope, but wishful thinking. It did pack a good buzz though. This just didn't have the fruit weight and viscosity to stand up to the heat - decent acidity though. Had a much more enjoyable and balanced Verdelho from Argentina a few nights ago: 2008 Cristobal 1492 at $9 was a steal!
