Last 6th bottle of this wine means that I have no white wines from Terredora in the cellar anymore:-(. I have couple of red bottles so we will see how they compare. I though it would be better in the Montrachet glass, but not the best is to taste it from Riesling glass as in bigger glass it looses the mineral and herby character.
