Tasting- Protocolo Blanc


Name:  Protocolo Blanc
Variety:  70% Airen, 30% Macabeo
Region:  Castilla-La Mancha
Country:  Spain
Year:  2010
Price:  $6.95
Review:  "Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value." 87 Points, Stephan Tanzer
My Review:  This wine was very clear with little color.  It did not have much to offer on the nose end either, but I thought of mellow fruits sort of like those big red apples that are not very flavorful and maybe a little apricot.  The taste was muted as well, but still very tart on my tongue like it was trapped inside a lemon.  After watching one of Gary V’s videos it makes me think of over water with extra lemons. 

I tried this wine without food.
