Chateau d'Aqueria Tavel 2012
served chilled
limpid watermelon juice
tiny bubbles along its glassy wake
nose of bright champagnes
and tart cherries
gentle arrival of thin sauvignon blanc
immediate intensification
of red fruits wrapped in refreshing brightness
rich tannins unfold midpalate
with long multidimensional finish
of strawberries and melon candy

it is like kissing her again
after a winter of separation
a fantasy of lost promises
