August 17, 2020 - Take away the residual sugar from a late harvest riesling and you’ll have an idea of the mouthfeel and acid structure. Notes of poached pears and marcona almonds. Definitely a ‘drink now’ but the window is not closed... has just begun the downward curve. I’m not big on scores but I wouldn’t debate anything between an 89-92; merely, at this point in its life it is going to be a polarizing bottle but, let’s be honest, anyone drinking aged Ossian probably knows what they’re getting into haha. Personally, I don’t find the ‘mature characteristics’ a detractor at all because they are well integrated and the palate is still very harmonious. Now that I’m on my second glass I’m actually really impressed at the acidity levels in this bottle.

February 17, 2015 - Em boca saboroso, macio e suave. Bem integrado com final agradável. Em nariz muito neutro e fechado.

March 2, 2014 - Family Lunch (Restaurante Bacalhoeiro - São Paulo - Brazil): Correct wine with good acidity and balance. However, the wood aromas and flavors predominate and hide any singularity related Verdejo grape.
