Dessert/poached/canned peaches with honey, herbs, nuttiness.
The iodine/citrus/tart green fruit is there, but firmly in the background.
This wine (or at least this bottle) is taking a verve into the decadent. I'm using extreme language because this is comparative to the typicity of the region. It's not over the hill, but this is either in a (one must assume) final enriched state, or it is starting to fade. It's my last one so I won't be able to say (but maybe YOU will).

Cool fennel with red and dark fruit, great perfume even at this young age. There's some subtle rose in there, too. Nice concentrated fruit on the palate. Decent amount of pleasure to be had drinking this right now. Ovello is, in my opinion, one of Produttori's single vineyard standouts.
This is all focus and depth of non-fruit elements, with subtle fruit underpinning.
It's very good but at this point in its age I can't help but think I can get 98% of these qualities in a 1er Cru Chablis for much less cost. Probably/possibly will develop into something even more complex with time, so there is a lot of promise here.
