Acidity is not as high as it should be to balance the ripeness. Over the course of the evening, it mellowed, but still not a big fan of this style. |

2/14/2010 - slogan wrote: 92 pointsA great example of a food wine. Opened it about two hours before dinner, and couldn't resist a taste. Very grapey is the best way to describe it. Not necessarily sweet, but it was in there. Let it sit for a couple of hours, and then had it with some homemade pizza, and it seemed to suddenly seemed to boil down to a more essential wine, with fruit, acid, tannin, etc. Really nice with the pizza.
