3/5/2018 - kdsipe wrote: 89 pointsAromas of vitamin, strawberry, orange peal and something slightly earthy and herbal. Bright, mineral and fresh. Medium to full bodied on the palate with a smooth texture, high acid, a touch of sugar, lots of freshness, and a long mineral finish. Less fruit than the ‘15, higher acid. Delicious. Matched everything at Nishiki Arashiyama. |

8/5/2017 - kdsipe wrote: 88 pointsRicher and more new world-ish than expected. Sappy aromas of peach, apricot, passion fruit and lemon with just a hint of fresh cut grass and bell pepper. Full on the palate with a distinct bitter note, spiky acid, thickening at the back and a tingling finish. Added acid? The Malvasia dominates absolutely. Some soapy notes. Best when well chilled. Should appeal to newbies. Not going to miss anything. Overall, well made, good at this price and definitely southern. Nice with a spicy pasta vongole, pork involtini, and eggplant Parmesan. |

3/3/2018 - kdsipe wrote: 91 pointsExquisite with fine aromas of mineral, red apple, lime, sugar cane and petrol. Medium bodied and delicate with sugar and acid in perfect balance, creamy through the middle, pure and long through the finish. Wow... good wine. Better on day two. Not good with okonomiyaki, too much sugar. Much better with Serrano ham, the salt and fat balance the wine’s sweetness. |

Medium bodied with medium acid, some vinous and peach notes, a touch of sugar, and a long chalky finish. A touch watery through the middle but quite good for the price. Ripe, clean, balanced and delicious. Nice with an omelet and roast potatoes. |

3/17/2018 - kdsipe wrote: 88 pointsSalty, ashy, mineral aromas with hints of green apple and passion fruit. Clean and vibrant. Medium bodied with a slightly creamy texture, good acid and a salty finish. Great texture and length but this is a wine lover’s wine, it’s subtle not obvious, mineral not fruity. Surprisingly sophisticated and better on the second day. Enjoyed with assorted appetizers but salads and seafood should pair nicely. |

8/5/2017 - kdsipe wrote: 87 pointsRich, sweet, earthy, slightly soapy aromas of boysenberry, artichoke, tobacco and brown sugar. Soft on the attack with flavors of roasted berry and loam, discrete tannin and a gentily tannic finish. My first encounter with uva di troia. Not disappointed. Some leafy notes becoming apparent. Didn't quite stand up to the food. Perhaps better with a slight chill. Interesting. |

3/15/2018 - kdsipe wrote: 89 pointsSoft aromas of ripe peach, green mellon, white lily and chalk. Light to medium bodied with a creamy bead, high acid, little discernible sweetness, lots of mineral and a clean, chalky finish. This wine actually tastes like chalk. Surprised it is labeled as an extra dry as it drinks dryer than some bruts I have tried. The sugar just adds some extra ripeness, creaminess and weight to the palate. Not the best match with garlic, cilantro chicken, better with appetizers. |

9/27/2017 - kdsipe wrote: 89 pointsBeautiful wine. Light, fresh and full of charm. Aromas of kinkan, lime blossom, sugarcane and smoke. So pure and effervescent. Light to medium bodied with high acid, lots of mineral, flavors of pineapple and herb, and a long finish. So well balanced it doesn't seem sweet at all. Great with pork shogayaki and lo men. Good for 3 to 5 years, maybe longer. Should develop more complexity with time. |

4/8/2018 - kdsipe wrote: 90 pointsA lovely, energetic wine. Clear aromas of pear, lemon, cream and mountain herbs. Medium bodied with great acid, a lemony midpalate, and a long mouthwatering mineral finish. The profile is between a Chablis and Muscadet. More mineral than fruit. Pure, tense and delicious. Great with a kaiseki obento. Drink now. |

3/8/2018 - kdsipe wrote: 87 pointsAs it warms in the glass, the wine offers crystalline aromas of yellow peach, buttered pear, sugarcane and buckets of mineral. Light to medium bodied with medium acid, notes of lemon and mineral and a slightly chalky finish. Very temperature sensitive and lacking a bit of depth. A nice table wine. Drink 2017. |

9/20/2017 - kdsipe wrote: 89 pointsA nice table wine, representative of vintage, variety and place. Purple in the glass with forward aromas of dark berries, violets, mountain herbs and tar. Brown sugar notes emerge with time but this is decidedly savory and very fresh. Medium bodied and lively on the palate with bright acid, medium tannin, notes of blueberry and licorice, and a clean finish. Lacking the the complexity for a higher score. Improved over 3 hours. Good for 3 to 5 years. Excellent with the earthy notes of a pasta e fagioli. |

Light to medium bodied on the palate with medium(-) acid, butter, chalk and bitter stone fruit notes, and a medium finish. Gained some weight over time but this lacks concentration and energy on the palate. Too bad, nice nose. Okay with salmon. |
