  Didn't have much experience with Gavi, but this one is good. Dry sherry kind of aromas with sea shell, mineral, smoke, with bold vanillin oak tones. Good freshness, creamy mouth feel and soft texture. This is quite structure for a Gavi with lively acidity and mineral that end with slight oaky, medium length finish with orange peel bitterness aftertaste. Buy - No.

  Willi Schaefer meets some solid Italian Wines (La Chaseur, New Bridge Road): Excellent stuff. Tre Bichierri, and you can see why. A little oak on the nose, but it widens out into nice florals, white fruit, pears and pineapples, sesoned with some spice and mineral scents and a little a bit of earthiness. Lots of depth on those smells. The palate gave an impression of bright acidity, with lemony flavours puckering the mouth, but that tones down on the midpalate, where the weight of white fruit - again pineapples, some pears, some apples - brings the wine into lovely balance. Nice sappy feel here, and the finish was underlined by a serious seam of minerality. I thought the acidity was spot on when this was served when cool, but the definition and focus slipped a bit when warmed - that was our fault rather than the wine's though. Otherwise, good depth, quite a bit of complexity and a good amount of dry extract bodes well for its future. I would think that it will be even better a couple of years down the road. Very good indeed.
