Tenute di Serramarrocco "Grillo del Barone" Sicilia 2006

Bright yellow.

Nose of lemon sauce, dried apricot, cumin(?), spearmint and a woodsy/earthy quality.

Much leaner than expected in the mouth, with lemon and mineral flavors dominating. Acid/mineral chew coats the front teeth. Subtle Riesling-esque petrol note. In fact, this feels and tastes like dry, aged Riesling. No fat - taut, driving. Tanzer's "acid thrust". Lemon and sulfide finish. This just gets more interesting as it warms. Long. RFG.



$35? Gift from Sariya JB. Grillo is a Sicilian white. Never heard of it.
