Really well done and balanced. The vanilla is melo against the oak & paired well with a marinara spinach ravioli. Was thinking different and set me right, wish they all were this good. — 6 years ago

This wine is tinted light yellow. The nose is what I really love about Vermentino. It smells of the ocean, with savory streaks of Meyer lemon and a hint of white blossoms. The palate is so full of salinity and minerals that it begs for a food pairing. — 2 years ago

Very solid. 18 yet again fails to be as bad as critics want it to be. Had to order this because of a corked 2017 Podere Forte Melo which stung but is all in the game. — 4 years ago

Señor Perez has *never* disappointed me. This is Puligny meets Grosses Gewachs. Fantastic minerality and round fruit, but bone dry. Superb with Branzino. — 5 years ago

Vino color violáceo vivo y clarificado. Aroma abierto con notas amaderadas, vainilla, canela, y frutos negros maduros. En boca tiene un cuerpo elegante y con persistencia media-alta, acidez y dulzor equilibrado. En boca también se persiven notas de pimiento verde. — 6 years ago

Presenta un atractivo color rojo picota, vivo y luminoso. Aroma de alta intensidad, muy bien formado y definido. Primero aparece fruta negra, hinojo y regaliz, luego recuerdos de mantecado y madera quemada. Se hace grande en boca. Fresco y muy frutal. Se mueve despacio por la boca, marcando sabor, dando placer. Sensación rugosa al final — 7 years ago

Gordons Čhanin tasting 6/13/17. $43. #1. Nose of white flowers and tropical fruits with mineral notes. Palate that's textured and with tension mouth feel and weight. Long finish with acids and minerals. Saline type minerals. Full melo unfiltered. Sulfur minimal and only after melo. Richest wine in lineup. Best nose of the group. Though not quite as full of tension. — 9 years ago

Más Godello, con un almuerzo de cangrejo, pulpo y verduras. Te llama la atención de inmediato y la mantiene. Un marco bastante resistente aquí con un acabado de tierra vivo. Awesome. — 3 years ago

Needs 90 minutes. Before then it’s really weird. Goes from a 7.0 to a 9.7 in 2 hours. Yes. It’s true.

Nose graphite explosion. Blackberry flower. Cherry flower.

Palate is silky blackberry. Man. That Forte elegance. Gorgeous shimmering mountain stream infused with blackberries.

As this opens more nose is gorgeous blackberry flower. Palate is Pete t blackberry flower. Hint of graphite.

Wow. So close to melo and anfiteatro.

This needs to be glass decanted. You get new weirdness from the beginning with each pour.

Internal@aromatics are wow! Blackberry liquor. Lilacs. Expansive. Delicious. Liquid silk made from flowers.

Finish is the most gorgeous elegant blackberry liquor. Hint of savoriness. Wow wow wow. Wine.

With more air intense lilacs and violets.

Nose initially reticent, some reductive notes, peach and apricot in the background. Fresh, green apple, balanced acidity. Delightful wine that should benefit from a couple years of bottle age — 6 years ago
