#144 Zelen

Zelen from Slovenia.

At first I was a bit disappointed in the uni-dimensional aspect of this wine. Served ice cold it went down like an ultra-light beer. A few days later, warmed to room temperature this wine revealed its character. At first I considered it a simple Pinot Gris in style but there is a bit more dimension. Maybe a touch of nutmeg with that citus acidity? Enjoyable wine and easy to drink without food.

This had me very interested in the next bottle...
