Picked up at the shop agora in cap hill on a whim -- the winemaker is a woman called Elisabetta Fagiuoli, and the grape, Vernaccia, is new to me. It was crisp, dry, and very enjoyable. Almost bubbly on the tongue, and I thought slightly lemony.

Memorable experience from the Bretons (loosely).

Grace bought me this as a Valentine’s Day gift. We paired with pork rillettes that I made from scratch.

It was very sweet, but not unpleasantly so. Stone fruits and orange blossom. A little funk as we started it. Improved greatly against the pork. Stunning!

My birth year! Drunk at Christmas dinner in Wyoming with many thanks to @m.batard. Decanted for 2-3 hours.

Color - very clear and ruby in the glass. Muted nose - we wondered if it was in a dumb phase. At the beginning of the evening found the palate very similar to the 1982 we drank alongside (leather, dark fruit, and orange peel). Upon further reflection— a bit sour with red fruit and a bit of leather.
