- ShortWiner - 06-18-2003 2001? I think so. $16. Got this at the Cape to have with lobsters. Powerful floral and grapefruit aroma. Lichees, too, and same on palate. Rather full-bodied, if I remember right. Not tremendously complex, but not straightfoward either. It wouldn't appeal to me every night, but I liked it quite a bit. It worked with the steamed lobster, which we bought directly from a lobsterman who sells them out of his garage. - dananne - 06-18-2003 We love it, and usually keep it as one of our house whites (along with Domaine du Pouy, an ugni blanc) in the summer. - JohnG - 06-19-2003 This is one of our favorite summer whites as well. Haven't had it yet this year, but I recall it being very crisp and refreshing, with bright citrus fruit and a nice floral aroma. Not quite sure what lychee is supposed to taste like, but if this is it, I like it. This wine has moved steadily up in price; I remember buying it for closer to $10 a couple years back. - ShortWiner - 06-19-2003 I bought the bottle in a tourist town (Provincetown) so my price may not be representative of other areas. Sometimes you can try lychee at Chinese restaurants. |
