Why drink any frigging white wine when grower champagnes are this good. Crisp, racy, seductive wine that promises and delivers. Lighter in color than anticipated, round, lighter in weight than anticipated. Elegant, but demanding attention. Complex, changing, charming. Life can be good in the midst of chaos.

It is rich, but without chaos and exaggeration. Dark fruit: mainly black currant, some plum. Then: cocoa, a bit vanilla and smoky. It stings lips and tongue with pepper. — 8 months ago
Big bold dark fruits plums and blackberries up front. Bold but creamy. Undertones of chocolate and tannins. Long and lush. Layers and complex. — 3 years ago
Beautiful red blend. So good with spicy food. — 3 years ago
Champagne on Christmas, what am I gonna complain about? That we live in a universe indifferent to our suffering, ruled by barely-controlled chaos, eternally hurtling toward entropy, destruction, and death? — 4 years ago
Quite rare Margaret River Chardonnay
Brilliant golden color
I must admit i thought it could have shown better
I must admit i am now drinking definitely different stuff lately
I must admit i am sure this wine has his lovers as it should
But once I realised that the hangover i had the day after was only matched with similar experiences when i was in Melbourne I start to question on other aspect that have nothing to do with the flavors or the arguable beauty of the wine itself.
Sulphites? What else?I leave it there..
Last week i had a full two days in a Natural wine fair close to Verona(i didn't go to Vinitaly on purpose, i can't stand that chaos anymore) and haven't had a hint of a headache at all... and i swear i have been tasting hard.
This shade of drinking starts to be(and probably it has been for a while) quite a strong factor in my wine choices

2021 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Chunky with moments of clarity and moments of chaos. When it rolls in at the resto price waay under $30, compelled to pick up 4 cases. A fave Italian producer and this does nothing to dispel those feelings. 01.15.25. — 22 days ago
