Aligote: the oft maligned & forgotten white grape of Burgundy - I've had mixed results over the years, but this was the best i've ever tasted. some age darkened this up w/deeper yellow & greenish hues overlaid with straw. complex nose infused w/subtle lingering oak accents boasted mango & guava and a tropical fruit nose, savory, biscuit, herbal, minerals, stale 7up, and some pleasant oxidative notes. palate was suave & rich, silky yet brimming w/acidity mingling nicely with our salad & smoked salmon.
