IWS Tuscany, Campania, Basilicata, Marche, Umbria; 1/29/2022-1/30/2022 (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas initially a little citrus. With agitation there is slight honey, butter, cream in the background, quite oxidised as well; bruised apples especially but also herbaceous elements. Oxidised in the mouth unsurprisingly, sour bruised fruit, hazelnut, cream, butter, a little honey, textured mid palate grip, slight herbaceous notes join on the long warm finish. Old but holds interest for me. Mmm.

Appeared a little too bland for my taste on this occasion - the acidity was less in evidence than on the previous showing about 18 months ago. Almonds, a little orange, and a nice note of honey completes the aromatic impression. It is delicate and harmonious - but, as stated, a little missing in the zing department for my taste.

Aromatic and broad shouldered, with exotic yellow fruits. Rich and fruity, with good intensity and length. Reminds of a Grüner Veltliner with its low acidity slightly bitter finish. Lacks some elegance, maybe.

First signs of oxidation. Drink up.
