| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dsamuel on 9/3/2019 & rated 91 points: Beautiful wine - Medium lemon color and crystalline - looks quite young
Medium aromas - citrus/ melon/ chamomile/ apple
Intense reductive notes of ash/ matchstick and pine resin which blew off after approx. 30 mins in the glass
Full palate of citrus but primarily mineral at this stage - dry rocks and ash - fairly round and with an oily texture - at the same time rather creamy and I would guess some lees contact
Medium acidity and medium length
Great example of what Fiano can do with some age and prob no rush to drink now - prob 2-3 yrs left (799 views) | | | Tasted by S.Wayne on 9/2/2019 & rated 91 points: Single blind tasting
Bright almost fluorescent, lemon yellow color
Medium + aromatics of initially reductive flint qualities that quickly blow off to yield sweet melon, mineral and ash. Secondary floral notes.
Medium palate with some phenolic bitterness and medium acidity. Primary palate is Meyer lemon
The most amazing note of the wine is the mouth feel. Round, creamy and slightly oily with a long finish at only 6 six years old. (711 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 2/2/2018 & rated 90 points: Friday night in the library. Tasted blind. Pop and poured. Drank over 2+ hours.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of honey, hot stones minerality, citrus lemon, apricot. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of honey, citrus lemon, pineapple, creamy apricot, hot stones minerality, streak of green herbs, bitter almond. Medium+ finish.
Tough guessing this wine. Was going from Chenin Blanc to Pinot Gris. On hindsight, the bitter almond note should have given a clue for Italian indigenous varietal.
Can still go on to develop more honey character with a bit more age. Nice minerality from the volcanic soil.

Clear, bright straw yellow in color. The nose is clean and complex, with pear, yellow peach, citrus (lemon and grapefruit), herbs and white flowers. The palate is dry, but with nice sweet fruit. The acidity is medium (+), alcohol is medium at 12% alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth. There's a nice streak of minerality in the medium (+) long finish. It is drinking well now and likely to continue drinking well for several more years. A very solid value. (2009 views) | | | Tasted by mark_m_owen on 12/19/2015 & rated 90 points: Very impressive, terrific QPR. floral nose (not sweet though) and mix of citrussy/grassy elements and peach notes. Acidic but in a good way. Medium finish, no lingering aftertaste or acid burn. (1744 views) | | | Tasted by dmcella on 11/17/2015 & rated 91 points: Almond blossom, almond skin, light lemon, toasted nuts, honeysuckle, other floral elements, slight herbal, stony; full bodied but zingy; skin tannins are obvious (bitter finish); very enjoyable. (1836 views) | | | Tasted by wculpepper on 10/15/2015 & rated 91 points: Pale yellow. Floral nose of pear and lemon. Green pear and bracing acids on the palate. Medium length finish. Overall, a quite enjoyable wine and reasonably priced at $22. (1527 views) | | | Tasted by RussK on 9/22/2015 & rated 90 points: Russk at the Stacole Tasting at the Rubel Collection. 90+ (1257 views) | | | Tasted by M.Batard on 9/13/2015 & rated 90 points: From the wine list (and offered by the glass) at Dalla Terra, London. Floral and stone fruit, with a touch of quinine. Robust full white, with good acidity. Paired well against various antipasti, even the bresaola. Lovely. (939 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 5/12/2015: Vini d'Italia Tour (Altanta): Straw color; mint, grain, corn, yellow fruit; good grip and depth on the palate, firm; tasty. (1804 views) |
