Schmid’s cuvee of old vines exhibits exotic aromas that hints at bacon, pepper and citrus. Flavors continue the theme, with melon, citrus and pepper flavors accented by a smoked-meat note. Full-bodied and rich, yet balanced, with a long finish that features mingled citrus and melon. Imported by Tastings Import Company. ——J.C.(5/1/2005)—— 92
