VINTAGE 2010 Dinner (Galletto Ristorante, Modesto Ca.): Splash decanted then open in bottle for 4hrs...best bottle I've had to date! This wine was LOADED with exotics and crushed geology...huge citrus attack...ripe orchard and tropical fruits...banana skin ...exotics of quince paste, candied limes, lanolin wax, smoked herbs, wild honey...it was floral, it was salty, chalky...electric and SO fascinating! Was consensus white wotn, and my wotn in a company of a lot of great wines!

"I'm not having a glass of wine; I'm having six. It's called a tasting and it's classy." (Chicago, IL): This was one of our favourites from a Vatan vertical over five years ago, so I was incredibly excited to get to try this wine again. Unfortunately this bottle showed somewhat advanced, with a somewhat flaccid demeanor. Mostly, it reminds me of premoxed white Burgundy. A real shame as I had been waiting to revisit this bottle for years.

Smells like premoxed white Burgundy. BOO! (To confirm, I was booing, not saying Boo-urns.)

Completely oxidized, quite sherry-like.

Complex; lemon and melba with supporting acidity.
