| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
VASSE FELIX |
| Very bright pale straw colour. Fairly complex, slightly spicy, lemon nose with lots of mineral notes. Very dry, medium bodied, tangy, youthful, lemon-lime flavours with a lingering, gently complex, slightly tart, still tight finish. Has 12.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Not up to the richer/riper recommended best buy 2016 (***) that was released on July 8, 2017 at $24.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: From a vintage that was the coolest and latest in 10 years, this saw eight months in French oak and on the lees. This is crisp and intense with high-toned tangy melon, apple, lemon citrus and a delicate vanilla undertone. Zesty and fresh with a delectable hint of spice on the end. Great mouthfeel and intensity. A classy, refined wine. Perfect for grilled chicken, pork chops, lobster or crab cakes. (Vintages panel, April 2018) |
