Whoa, put your grown up pants on before delving into this! Massively pungent, as in Sauvignon Blanc like cat urine...but stronger, along with damp temperate forest floor, haystack, mushrooms, etc. The palate shows good concentration and balance; the taste profile is good, but you sort of have to deal with the cat urine element throughout. This might pair really well with stinky cheeses and seafood...foods with pungent odors in their own right. Hard to drink this for pleasure because of …

Chalky mineral, honey, subtle focused tropical fruit. Medium - full body, sappy and juicy, pear and citrus flavors, a tad oily. Zesty medium acidity pops a little and there is a lengthy herbal finish with a little touch of bitters. Fairly unctuous, just ripe, a tad sour... should be good with something fairly rich and slightly sweet, like scallops...

Pineapple core and band-aid and earth are what come to mind here--very nice and intriguing nose with a medium rich body, good fruit, silky, and a long finish. 12%
