Riserva Vernaccia di Oristano
Oristano, Sardinia, Italy
Ah-mazing. Nose is just gorgeous. Honey, marmalade, nougat, spice with just the craziest lift. So much saltiness. So much sea air. So complex. Dizzying. 9.7 nose. Nuttiness. The delicate nature of these wines is remarkable. Honeyed and rich but such bright acidity and unreal texture. Nutty, citrus, spice all on a pillowy texture. So long. Nose has like .5% VA that adds so much. Truly special. Just was tasting the 97 which was opened on Saturday and wow do these wines improve with air. I’ll be back for sure. There’s a sweet caramel thing on the finish now. With salt. So juicy, complex and concentrated. Wow.
