Community Tasting Notes 2

  January 24, 2014 - Piemonte Timorasso (Ravenna): Golden green Yellow, brilliant.
  Intense and very fine at nose, with hints of ripe Yellow fruits, minerality (gypsum) and fennel.
  Dry, high alcohol, good acidity and minerality.
  Nice body, the alcohol trying to balance the harshness.
  From magnum.

  June 18, 2013 - Piedmont 2013, Day 2 - Dinner with Walter Massa of Vignetti Massa (Ristorante Bovio, La Morra, Piedmont, Italy): I enjoyed this quite a bit. It had a beautiful nose, super complex with chalky mineral scents forming a nice base for bright scents of green apple and lemons, honey dancing around some honey and floral notes. The palate was rich and oily textured, with ripe notes of stone fruit and dried mango layered with lemon oil and flecked by a nice spiciness. All this was punctuated by a very fresh spine of lemony acidity that kept the wine really supple and effortless in spite of its richness. I really liked this. It had all sorts of little complexities too, especially towards the long finish, which had lemon, spice and mineral notes playing all over the back-palate. Great stuff – this felt like it was just creeping towards a nice drinking window, but was also clearly a wine that will last and keep growing for quite a lot longer in the bottle.
