White Hall Vineyards
Monticello Chardonnay 2014
More VA wine: Love finding some older vintages that have fattened up: sparkling gold color w/lemon cream nose, white flowers, coconut & butterscotch. Decadent nose, oily & viscous on palate, yet clean vibrant, fairly balanced w/some tropical fruit and golden apple & more lemon. Decent length on finish. — 4 years ago
Enderle & Moll
Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2018
Tart cherry, hibiscus, spring foliage. Sediment has fallen out nicely. Some rose coming on. Almost brilliant but lots of va. A little bit acetic. — 4 years ago
Love this wine. But the more than intermittent parcels with affected with VA make me wary.
@Jae Cho definitely. As far as flaws that can be interesting in moderation I’m fine with some VA but in this case it’s overkill. Other bottles I’ve had of the same wine haven’t been the same.

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The 2018 Rosso de Véo pours a deep garnet with wild dark fruit, high end dark dark chocolate cherry cordial, some VA giving it some balsamic notes. Sanguine with high tannin. Loving it with the pork ragu lasagnette made with semolina flour from the Bea farm. Drink now with patience, through 2038. Bottle No. 77/4626 — a month ago
