Tasting - Terre di Poggio Laude Pecorino 2013

Terre di Poggio Laude Pecorino 2013
Terre di Chieti, Italy
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "Bright and savory, this floral scented Pecorino offers juicy tropical fruit and lemon drop sensations accented by notes of mint and thyme. The ripe fruit is balanced by brisk acidity that leaves the palate feeling cleansed and refreshed."

I found this wine to have a very citrusy, zesty bouquet. Along with the zest though was a distinct hospital-like smell, which threw me off a bit. In the mouth I found it to be rather tannic, especially for a white, and a little hot. The complexity of this wine was perhaps a bit much for me, and made it difficult for me to pick out specific flavors, because it was so overwhelming.
