Albert Mann Muscat 1999

Albert Mann Muscat 1999: A very pale wine with a hint of green. A clean and aromatic nose, with juicy apples and pears. The palate is very attractive, with a fleshy texture with good apple, pear and melon flavours, with notes of flowers, spice and minerals taking a back seat. Lovely fresh acidity and quite dry, very much in the style of this producer. It thus has quite good balance, although the alcohol is a touch incongruous, particularly on the endpalate. Nevertheless, quite a restrained, elegant and yet characterful example of this variety. 16/20 (10/9/01)
