  3/22/2017 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  Great showing; still in its preferred plateau, with no oxidation or loss of vigor. Surprisingly light in color given its nearly 7 years, this is ageing quite respectably. Light>Medium bodied, with crunchy stone and orchard fruits, plenty of minerals add interest. Focused, with some added nuance that's come with age. Understated, still fresh; the last glass was the best, so feel free to aerate in decanter for an hour - and serve on the warmer vs cooler side of the equation. Lots of pairing possibilities here. recommended
  
  Served non-blind.

  Our first of three bottles, this was served at ~50F with imported Strozzapreti (an elongated Cavatelli) with a sage, olive oil and ground pignoli pesto that was topped with toasted walnuts. To provide a flavor contrast, we had oven roasted plum tomatoes on the side.
  A bright light golden color, this was initially restrained but opened dramatically as it warmed in the glass and took in some air. It had a silky smooth feel, medium weight, excellent balance, moderate length, and a clean finish.
  As it warmed, it reminded me, in a subtle way, of a mature, but less weighty, LdH Gravonia. There was a faint oxidative note with a delicate floral mineral, beeswax edge in the nose. In the mouth, there were subtle well focused impressions of marcona almond, hazelnut, pear, apple, white peach, and quince jelly.
  This is an elegant white that is intriguing with the right food accompaniment. It was an exquisite pairing with our pasta dish and seemed in peak form with no indication of imminent decline. But, having no prior experience with this wine, I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to the aging capabilities.
  This is not an aperitif candidate. I would strongly suggest serving it after 30-60 minutes of air and no colder than 58F with simply prepared fish, chicken, or lightly sauced pasta dishes.
