7.1

Showing lots of sweet figs and sultana with hints of dark chocolate. Lower acidity than should be for a wine to last to this age. Perhaps a bit past it’s prime. Certainly not on the same league as Y’quem. — 6 years ago

Scarbolo

8.6

Nobody makes still red wines from Blauer Wildbacher. NO ONE. Rosé, bubbly, sure. Lacking in fruit, tannic, softer acidity than expected compared to rosés from this varietal. For the adventurous. — 8 years ago

Impressed by this producer. Classic Friulano. Light, crisp, great acidity with nice fruit. A perfect aperitif wine with Prosciutto di’Parma. — 7 years ago

Floral, funky and weird. The only Arneis that has surprised. How did I miss this one? From Dressner of course. — 8 years ago
