Enjoying this immensely. Crisp and refreshing, yet with a delicious lingering savoriness (I guess you could call this "funk", but it seems well-integrated and I don't view it as a negative.) Perfect right now; sad that it's my last bottle.

Very nice bottle. I very much enjoy vermentino and this is an excellent sample. Just the right balance of richness and sharpness. No funk at opening for me, although it might have gotten a little better through the bottle.

A good vermentino with good varietal character. Slightest amount of funk that blows off after a short amount of time open (better next day, IMHO). Saving the rest for a hot day on the porch in the summer.

A bit too mellow to make it interesting without food. Paired with Thai offerings and worked decently.

A bit of that fruit funk others talked about was noticeable at PnP. Solid bottle, goes along fine with food.
