Domaine du Tariquet Côtes de Gascogne Chenin Chardonnay

Decant Time - 0 The nose is unremarkable, with some weak green apple, oak, and minerality. The palate is pretty bad, with an extremely dilute, almost watery front end. The midpalate has some bitter apple core and it finishes short with tart, bitter citrus. The wine paradoxically has decent weight and mouth feel. Overall this wine, if nothing else refreshing, is very dilute in flavor and substance. Even at $9 it is a major pass in the future.
