This is a pretty aged white… Showing its age with a dark yellow almost orange tint. Smells like volatile compounds from the lab and a hint of sweet lemon stuff. (My friend Margot said Dewberry soap from The Body Shop). Flavors are oxidized and a tad funky. Butterscotch meets limoncello. I read apricots. Yes over-ripe apricots. It may have been better younger. Now it kinda reminds me of some cheap CA Chardonnay. Or old white wine past its prime.
