Medium lemon color. Youthful nose with a pronounced intensity of elderberry, wet sand, buttermilk and grassy aromas. Dry palate, medium(+) acidity. High alcohol and medium(+) body. Pronounced intensity of grilled pork chop, licorice, bitter grapefruit and tarragon. Long length with s spicy and smoky finish.

Wow. This is the first time I tasted pork chop in a glass. Very unusual aroma. Overall I think that Sauvignon Blanc's grassiness dominates the wine, but Riesling and Gewurztraminer lift it up to a higher sphere of unexpectedness. If only the alcohol level would be less noticeable.
