France

750mLNose: Clear, fresh with an elegant floral aroma accented by a subtle citrus note. Palate: Initially soft with a gentle sweetness that gradually envelops the mouth-smooth and rounded texture with a hint of almond. Finish: Fresh and bright throughout with a long, satisfying finish.

The bouquet smells of minerals, semisweet grain and citrus zest. Entry is sweet and sugary; the taste profile at mid-palate takes on heavy notes of glycerin, cane sugar and charcoal. Finishes with a sugar rush that's out of balance and inappropriate.
