white currants

because of its enhanced botrytis character

The tactile sense of citrus zest and herbal pungency really extends the finish

I suspect that the mildly chunky tannins will eventually give way to something more reflective of the natural refinement of a classic RSV

dense and powerful flavors possess incredible intensity

Clos Naudin (Foreau), Vouvray Moelleux Reserve other_regions_italy white currantsRich golden yellow. Expansive aromas of caramelized apricot, white peach, date, banana and butter cream are layered in the noble botrytis. Rich, spicy tropical fruits coat the palate, but a finely chiseled, chalky minerality keep this chenin blanc remarkably light on its feet. Dense but not at all heavy, it finishes long and not at all cloying. Delicious. Joel B. Payne
