Pieropan Masterclass (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Honey, a little bruised apple, nutty almond notes, savoury salinity. Juicy, slightly sharp, savoury and saline, lemon, bruised apple, tangy, wet stone grip on the mid palate dries things out but does not detract from the flavours, very long with a touch of bitterness on the finish. Hmm

Round and full, this is in a delightful place. Stone fruit, Amalfi lemon, with hint of melon and leesy richness, there's a real fattiness to this, but it's balanced with a refreshing saline lift and just a touch of acid. Delightful with turbot and brill.

Yellow straw color, improved from my last bottle, yellow fruits , peach , minerals , irony , on the palate balanced with nice acidity, very good to pair with fish food
Muted nose. Decent wine but rather uninspiring. Dominant acidity, slightly bitter and too much warmth. Or maybe just a shock after having tried a lot of great German Rieslings lately?

A rather disappointing showing this time. Obviously evolved with signs of fatigue and a relatively short aftertaste. Maybe a poorly stored bottle? Not bad but nowhere near the previous bottle I had some 3 months ago.

Tasted at Oinorama Wine 2015 Fair. Medium straw yellow with some golden hues. Gorgeous nose of citrus fruit, pineapple, dried apricot, honey and bbeswax. Medium+ bodied with a lovely combination of evolution and freshness. Medium to high acidity and a very long aftertaste. At peak.

End of 2014 wines: Served blind, a real change of speed. A spicy, chalky, metallic, citric nose. Racy sparkling acidity on the palate. A lower fruit weight than the wines around it and less fruit forward flavours, more minerals, rock and chalk. This seemed like an Italian wine and, with this acid profile, a very good food wine.

First impression: very mineral. Than apple, white flowers, white musk. Fresh sapid and again mineral at palate. Medium finish. Much more balanced than my first tasting a year ago, but certainly not the best Calvarino I had.

Doftar bakade päron, fatsmörig och en hint myntaaktig örtighet. I munnen fylligt, mycket frukt och karamellig fatfetma. Bra syra.
Druckit mycket lite soave. Det här är gott med rätt mycket fetma. Läser nu att det inte verkar vara fat inblandat fast det känns så. Kanske malo och vila på jästfällning som lurar.

Yellow colour. Nice nose showing citrus tones and spicyness. Dry and fresh palate showing some maturity. Was excellent with the seafood risotto!

Quite neutral and generally not very remarkable. Perhaps because of this, works pretty well with all kinds of foods.
