Domaine Lignères Vin de Pays d'Hauterive Blanc La Baronne

This bottle was missing the latex/rubber notes from the last; very floral also with mineral/citrus notes.

Nose- latex glove with a hint of lemon. I kid you not, latex glove. On the palate- assertive with lemon, latex (balloon, glove, take your pick) with a finish of stone fruit & minerality. One of the most interesting wines I've had, yet it's definitely has a delicious factor & is worth seeking out for $10.

Melaka Trip; 5/1/2009-5/2/2009 (Melaka, Malaysia) : We had no clue what this was when tasted blind, and were equally clueless when it was unveiled - the bottle just had no information at all, whether in French or English. Still, a very enjoyable wine, especially with some of the preserved waxed meat. Nose showed lots of pertrol and rubber, along with some pear, a touch of wood and some honeyed nuts. Very big on the palate, which was rich, thick and …

Funky Rhone nose. A little oxidized? Waxy. Interesting, but not neccesarily good. 83-85

Nice lemon and apricot nose. Crisp, but with dense mouthfeel. Not multi-dimensional, but nice everyday white for the price.
