Monday, January 21, 2013 - I opened this light/medium golden colored wine at a dinner party on Sat night, showed OK - excellent (potential) on the palate but didn't really engage me. All but 1 small glass sat in the fridge on Sunday and today (Monday) I decided to try it with a spinach ravioli dish with lots of red pepper flakes. Stunning, ethereal finish, acids and fruits that seem to have risen from the dead, mouth-coating, honey dripped orchard fruit laced with bright spice and minerals. Med/Med+ body, cork/fill near perfect. Better on the cooler side of the equation. 14,5% abv, drink thru 2015
