  No formal note. Quite developed and definitely worth keeping for 10-12 years.
  We enjoyed this on its own. Rich flavours of honey and some lemon. Refreshing acidity.
  
  Drink up.

  Full body with a golden color. Fruit is fading but some stoney citrus remains. Good food wine. Drink now.

  Dark yellow in color - cork was stuck - not looking good. Lots of oak and vanilla on the nose. Fruity flavors of pear and peach in the mouth although out of balance. Coming down from its peak or past its prime. Took a chance and bought at close out from the state monopoly store.

  DAY 3. nose is showing nectarines and such beautiful waxy 'raisin air' off the nose. very bright and lively nose displaying white pepper and something a bit pithy. orange blossom honey. grapefruit pith really balances out that waxy note in the nose. much more subtlety across the palate. orange vitamin and hints at that white pepper on the palate, but this wine is really more of a mineral/floral expression. medium acid that does not attract attention to itself. elegant finish that leaves my tongue tingling for 20 seconds.

  Lemon green color with very little hint of rim change or age note to the color. Nose is pronouced and developed with notes of honey, flowers, cream, lactic oxygen note if that is possible. Not over the hill but certainly showing a bit of waxiness as Italian whites are sometimes prone to due. Palate has a full, rich body with medium (clear) acidity. The taste follows the nose althogh just a bit of die off to the finish. The flavors don't pull all the way through the finish and they are brighter when the bottle is first opened. Probably time to drink up is my conclusion. Although beautiful the moment it is opened.
  
  On second thought, I just had a bottle of La Rocca from 01 two weeks ago and that could have gone on longer... so maybe this is peaking?
