2015 Marramiero Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Altare
2/4/2019 - The years of the grape wrote: 85 Points
Rich example of Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, stone fruit, vanilla, honeysuckle, ripe pear. Supple in the mouth, not a fresh style, but I expected it and I bought it for that reason.
The problem is in a disconcerting bitter finish which I suspect could be caused by the very high alcohol: I don't remember having ever seen a white wine at 14.5%! Maybe some Californian Chardonnay, but nothing from Europe for sure. Too bad, I had I hopes for this.

2014 Seguin-Manuel Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières

Showing beautifully. Fruit aromas, spices from oak and savouryness from ageing. Quite substantial and solid for a Savigny, grippy tannins, but also high acidity.
I think this has at least another five years before it.

2014 Cantine dei Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta Grignolino d'Asti

Showing signs of the age (some red berry fruit starting to dry on the nose), but very enjoyable in my opinion. Although medium body and quite low in tannins, the acidity is very fresh and the aromas are well defined. I felt rose and pungent spice as well (but no oak used as far as I know).
Not a blockbuster wine for sure, not to be aged further, but these are the bottles that you finish without even noticing.
