希望酒莊華帝露白葡萄酒

點擊次數：11537

The 2012 Verdelho presents an intensely scented nose of ripe apples, pears and dill weed with a hint of aniseed. Light to medium-bodied, it has a good core of apple and herb flavors marked by crisp acid and a medium to long finish. Drink it now through 2014.

This starts off slightly rubbery, but comes around quickly enough to display ample white grapefruit and pith notes. It’s a bit tight and austere from start to finish; probably at its best with seafood.——J.C.(5/1/2011)—— 84

Offers good structure and juicy stone fruit at a giveaway price. This dry white is medium-sized, with straw and nut accents to its ripe stone fruit flavors. Offers meaty, nutty accents on the nose, too. A fine introduction to a variety that is just making its way in the U.S.——D.T.(11/15/2005)—— 86
