Medium yellow. Complicated nose of distilled beverage and herb more than fruit. Some citrus elements but a real herbal infusion like an acquavit. Dry, moderate acidity, very complex. I could easily have mistaken this for an Austrian Riesling.
Yellow. Briny, citrus aromas. Terrific texture and beautiful balance between ripe citrus fruit and underlying tension and structure. This has proven to be an exceptional value Premier Cru wine over the years I've tried it.
Deep ruby, pretty striking for Gamay. Anise and black fruit. Medium weight, pretty chocolatey feel, dense dark red fruit. Acidity could be sharper and some wood is very much in evidence throughout.
Italy, Trentino Alto-Adige / Veneto, Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT
Very deep purple/ruby. Smooth and round. Beautiful black fruit intertwined with graphite and herbs. Today we had a chance to appreciate a full bottle and particularly appreciated how fine a food wine this is.
