Smells sweet but almost dry. Porto Cervo is fantastic so bumping up the score by .2.

Jun 8th, 2015Very surprising to find this wine so alive after 13 years. Though less intense now and clear signs of aging: caramel and some ‘wet chalky cellar’. But also very floral, yellow fruit, laurel and rosemary. ( some parts make you think if aged Riesling)High alcohol, low acidity, full bodied, high intensity: kaki, spices, some bitters, very long.

Not crazy about this. The oak makes it richer, but obscures the fruit. Not a light white ( like I think vermentino should be)

teso e tagliente come un rasoio, morbido e avvolgente, rotondo e allo stesso tempo duro, granitico, fiori bianchi e frutta gialla, sapido, minerale, ricorda il timo e la macchia mediterranea, lungo e molto persistente.

Vermentino Di Gallura DOCG
Pale yellow color and intense aromas of ripe yellow fruit, honeysuckle, Mediterranean undergrowth. Dry. Great balance between taste and smell.

Extremely aromatic.. a bit too much for my liking... lacks balance...
