Kuban. Taman peninsula PGI, Krasnodar region, Russia, 12% vol., 269

Grape variety: Muscat (family)

This wine is pale lemon-yellow in colour. It has an appealingly fresh and fairly varietal nose of quite pronounced intensity, with Muscat aromas of orange blossom, bergamot orange, orange zest, tropical fruits and honeydew melon, as well as quince. It is much less lively on the medium-bodied palate and has passed its peak, with little complexity and concentration on the shortish finish. Ready for drinking.
