Superbe cuvée qui a tenu toutes ses promesses: la robe est magnifique un jaune or splendide.Le nez est sensationnel avec un mélange de fruits (melon,pêche,citron,poire) et fleurs (jasmin,iris) d'une superbe intensité,qui vous en met plein les narines.La bouche ne déçoit pas: belle matière à maturité,d'une très grande élégance et suavité.Très belle longueur finale.Un des meilleurs blancs de cette région à coup sûr.Plaisir garanti

Drank last nite with the Ramos in Copake. Such a great Italian white! I've had this wine many times before and notes are consistent. Lovely, generous nose of white fruit and flowers. Not as weighty as last time I tasted tho still with a viscous quality; & actually quite elegant. Still plenty of ripe fruit, some glycerine, honey, beeswax, a solid core of acidity and very enjoyable minerality. There's some citrus here, along with that ever-present tough of sweetness from the Picolit grape that is part of this blend. This wine has aged really well, developing added complexity and depth in the bottle. Might be my fave Italian white wine as it never disappoints.

Drank over lunch this weekend in Copake. Lovely, generous nose of white fruit and flowers. A bit heavier in weight than I recall, but not at all intruding on my enjoyment of this fine wine. Still plenty of ripe fruit, some glycerine, honey, beeswax, a solid core of acidity and very enjoyable minerality.

A Diverse Night of Italian Wines (Leonardo's, Solvang, CA): Bottle age has paid off handsomely, with this exceeding my prior two samplings dramatically. A viscous, glycerined wine showing great complexity and depth of flavor. Floral nose. Notes of honeyed stone fruit and wax, with a rich mouthfeel and long finish.

One Fun-Filled Afternoon Spent Poolside with Friends (Los Olivos, CA): I didn’t get to spend much time with this bottle, but the quick tastes I had confirmed for me that time continues to serve this wine very well. The crisp fruit is now complemented by a honeyed warmness, adding depth as well as texture. A bit clipped on the finish, but very enjoyable.
