Not much smell - slight creaminess. Off dry and a bit gaggy.

tasted 11/09/05

Note, Asda offer in July 06 doesn't give vintage.

So quite good by pinot grigio standards then :shock:

I once bought a bottle of La Prendina single estate pinot grigio from M&S which two published wine writers both rated as M&S best white wine.

It was foul. It tasted of almonds in a horrible sugared almonds kind of way.

I was violently ill the next day and vowed to give up wine if I survived.

I was ok by the weekend and just gave up pinot grigio.

PG is definitely my worst grape - actually Ruby Cabernet is up there as well. To me it tastes and smells of soluble aspirin. It's useful in an exam-style blind tasting because it shouts to me. However, Pinot Gris - ie same grape, but grown in France - is fabulous and it's hardly believable that it is the same grape.

Some of my friends are intelligent women (hard to believe, I know) who make sensible decisions throughout their lives and then we go out to eat and they suggest Pinot Grigio - it harms the relationship, I think!
