Pretty cool stuff providing an array of flavors. The positively tart stone fruits are complemented by grilled Meyer lemons and chalky minerality, expanding on the layered and rewarding finish where an herbaceous twist add complexity and loads of interest. While the oak treatment is hardly visible, it does provide some positive spicy notes.

Feb 13th, 20162013 vintage. Classy stuff! Refined and elegant, with enormous chalky soil presence, almost "overwhelming" in its minerality, yet with gorgeous, sun-drenched fruit, almost tropical, complemented by ripe citrus and freshly cut herbs. Hints of tannins add complexity to this round and full-bodied effort which boasts an explosive finish. Never had seriously old Ribolla Gialla, but it feels like this has the stuffing to age gracefully. 94+ p.

Oct 3rd, 2015Best bottle so far; this infant is just geting better and better. The tart, grapefruit oriented flavors still dominate - all positive - but nowadays it's minerality is really starting to blossom! Utterly promising.
