"Deep Italian'" Wine Dinner (New Jersey): One of my last two 375's of this, taken to a tasting event. Deep burnt sienna/caramel color, a couple shades darker than my previous bottles. Quite honeyed, with, vanilla, apricot and warm candied almonds on the nose and palate. I forget the ABV but it seemed pretty potent/ Nice with ricotta pie, whipped cream and berries.

Very complex and layered with a dark golden copper color. Caramel, vanilla, raisins, grilled apricot and florals are obvious flavors and aromas. Went quite well with a pineapple angel food cake and Graeter’s black raspberry chocolate chunk ice cream. Long life ahead.

Beautiful tension between fresh acidity and sweet goodness. Notes of honey, ginger, almonds, dried apricots and orange marmalade linger on a long full finish. Outstanding quality.

A few people picked up on a celery note on both the nose and palate which distracted from the otherwise appealing caramel notes.
