Castello Montaúto 2003 Vernaccia (Vernaccia di San Gimignano)

Sincerely aromatic, with scents of lilac, wild flower and almond candy. All in all, the bouquet is anything but subtle, but it’s still pretty. In the mouth, there’s a ripe core of melon, papaya and spice, while the finish is big and smooth. Seems like the warm ‘03 summer helped this wine out.
