Polite wine, nutty, creamy, slight glycerin. Surprisingly intact and pleasant. Enjoyed by dinner hosts.

Best. Vermentino. Ever. Pear, saline, chalk stones, and straw. Sicilian lemon pith on the palate adds citrus. Fabtastic fresh clean and mineral purity. Like a cool breeze on a hot day.

Jaune paille. Au nez, minérale, petits cailloux, fleurs blanches, herbes fraiches du maquis. En bouche, frais, bonne équilibre, fleurs et fruits blancs, très bien.

Hint of white almond and flowers, lemon/lime and mineral. It is not about fruit (touch of green apple/pear), but more about the freshness and purity of vermentino. Great acidity.

Encore une belle bouteille, meme notes que la derniere, et meme un peu plus apprécié. Peut-etre le contexte, mais tout de même un vin très agréable a ce prix.

Paille claire. Au nez, fleurs blanches, silex, petite touche de miel. En bouche, miel, cailloux, fleurs blanches, acidité bien présente, je semble trouver un peu d'amandes après quelque temps et l'acidité s'adoucie. Très bien.

Paille claire, presque translucide. Au nez, pierre a fusil, fleurs de pommier. Nez qui évolue par la suite avec de la pomme verte. Ce vin n'a cesser d'évoluer dans le verre. En bouche, pommes vertes, acidité présente mais non dominante. Bonne longueur. S'améliore avec le temps et était vraiment bien après 1.5 heure. Serait interressant de voir le résultat dans 1-2 ans.

Nice minerality and acid. A lively wine for current drinking -- not sure how it will age.

Brown Bag Wine Dinner at Two Chefs Double Blind; 6/11/2013-6/14/2013 (TWO CHEFS, MIAMI, FL) : I was intrigued by the Kermit Lynch connection, and the Corsican bio-dynamic heritage. Heavier than most Vermintino, and can't hold a candle to the Sardinian Pluminus. Dark yellow for a young wine, and lacked the Gravitas I expected from the WA description. Mark's White(me).

This is fresh and delicious. Expressive lemon, citrus, and minerals with a savory element, a bitter green herbal edge, and a chalky note. A little texture adds nuance and takes the edge off and mouth watering acidity keeps it lively. Well balanced and focused. The best Vermentino I've ever had.

A truly delightful wine, I think I enjoyed this as much as the last vintage. Sort of a combination of peach and apple, in that it seems to have at the same time a creamy side, yet with a nice crisp quality to balance it out. Very enjoyable.
