Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. — 9 years ago

Paired with paella this Malvasia rocks. Smooth, well balanced, fruit forward but still dry. Low acidity. Delicious. — 2 years ago
Cherry jam, cassis, anise, tobacco and cracked pepper. Perfect balance. Resto — 7 years ago
Dry and herbaceous. An intriguing wine that you'd never guess is moscato. — 9 years ago
