[Thomas]

by Fulget; 2003; $14.

The nose is forward and flowery--palate is a combination of vanilla and nutmeg, with a slightly almond finish.

I would have wanted more body in it, but it did quite well with chorizo and roasted red peppers in a cilantro-laced yellow rice dish accented with onions and garlic, plus a little chicken stock and Albarino.
