Domaine d'E Croce (Yves Leccia) Cuvée Biancu Gentile

Very interesting wine. Dark yellow color, nose of honey, nuts and mango. Great, but slighty too heavy taste of mango and grapefruit

Very enjoyable. I like the wines of Yves Leccia, imported by Kermit Lynch. This is an interesting wine with the native grape that he is bringing back, if I recall the story correctly. It is a little heavier at times that I want it to be - sort of a more dense body than the flavor at first would belie. Anyway, delicious wine, good with chicken and probably shellfish.

Warm pale yellow. Honey, figs, a hint of sea air on the nose. Penetrating fruit on the palate, quince and apricot, concentrating towards the back in a great crescendo of flavor that lingers in the finish. Wonderful with smells of rosemary, garlic and pan fried pork wafting through the kitchen. 50 + 16 + 17 + 8.

Frosty golden yellow. Light clean saline nose of quince and pine resin. Penetrating flavors blood orange and lemon curd on the palate, with a base of acid and an aftertaste of citrus rind. A striking wine, sunny with a dark streak. 50 + 16 + 17 + 9.

Sight: Pale Lemon Nose: Saline, lemon balm, chalk Palate: Textural. Pineapple, lemon balm, mango. Well balanced and interesting.
