Tasting - Palacio de Bornos Verdejo

Name: Palacio de Bornos Winery 
Variety: Verdejo
Region: Rueda
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95 (regular $12)

Wine Enthusiast Review: (89 points) Zesty and clean, with pure grapefruit and passion fruit aromas. It's charged up but perfectly balanced, with bright, focused citrus and pineapple flavors. Lemon acidity keeps the finish rolling, then throw in some chive and fresh greens and you have a spot-on Verdejo.

My Review: I smelled a very earthy yet floral aroma with this wine, but with that, there was a slightly bitter smell. I though this wine was slightly sweet and extremely acidic. I could definitely taste the acid from the hints of citrus. It had a very crisp taste. While it did have that slightly sweet, fruity flavor, it was still semi-dry.  I think anyone who likes fruitier wines would love this.
I tried it on its own without food.
