Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Pungent, mineral, exotic nose but finely etched palate. Held up nicely with multiple days in bottle, would love to explore with some time shed some primary character.

Jan 25th, 2014Great wine even though it didn’t hold up to my memories of former vintages, maybe because it’s a rare wine in its class that’s both excellent but drinks better young. It shed its primary character and left behind some ginger, vegetal tomato leaf and a silky texture with a long finish, driven by very prominent phenolic bitterness. Drinks like an austere high-quality white Bordeaux without the oak, but I miss the vibrant fruitiness and stronger Italian quality I get in its youth
