Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by martcouz on 10/13/2014 & rated 89 points: Must agree with Yiannis. Quite evolved and seems almost like it's past its prime. Hard to believe for such as young (2009) wine. Either way, it was really nice, but it's definately time to drink up. (3871 views)
 Tasted by MeMyself&I on 1/23/2014 & rated 89 points: Very nice. (4467 views)
 Tasted by Yiannis on 7/19/2013 & rated 89 points: Etheral but quite evolved nose of honeysuckle alongside stone and citrus fruit. Medium-bodied with rich but over-evolved fruit and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste. Past its best or a poorly stored bottle. (5317 views)
 Tasted by kostaslonis on 7/17/2013 & rated 88 points: (Italian White Wine Tasting, WineGate)
Clear, pale lemon
Clean, mid intensity, sweet lemon (flesh), ripe apricot, peach. Developing (a bit of evolution there before its time)
Dry, medium body, medium intensity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium+ acidity, ripe white stone fruits (apricot, peach), grass-y, medium mineral finish.
Very good wine (or at least it felt like it), premium price. Drink now (a better bottle would now doubt age) (4871 views)
 Tasted by nrad6949 on 10/29/2012 & rated 90 points: On the nose: Pineapple, citrus, hint of mineral.
On Palate: Nice, firm, balance
On Finished: Medium but fine. (5450 views)
 Tasted by Biggsy on 6/25/2011 & rated 91 points: Pale straw coloured with a powerful, vibrant nose with layers of aroma that change from nutty, to herbal, to pear drops to candied peel. Rich and full with a great depth of flavour, there is lovely acidity and minerality which balances the juicy pear fruit. Long, ripe peach filled finish. Excellent. (3329 views)
 Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 2/16/2011 & rated 89 points: 2011 Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri Tasting; 2/15/2011-2/16/2011 (Beltramo's in Menlo Park, California, and Fort Mason, San Francisco, California): Light green-tinged yellow color; tart green fruit, gooseberry nose; tart green fruit, gooseberry, mineral palate; medium finish (5725 views)
