Far from La Rocca level. This is quite neutral and uninteresting at this point. Granted I should have drunk it earlier maybe but I had 10+ years old La Rocca and it was admirable. There is a huge step between the 2 wines, much more than the price difference.

Medium golden color. Light citrus, lychee, unripe pineapple notes. Flavor notes of crème brûlée, mineral, and twinge of bitterness a la kumquat. A nice accompaniment to a variety of light Mediterranean foods. A delicate but delicious drink at this time.

Yes, a good Soave can age. At 9 years of age, this was just delightful. Very fresh with plenty of fruit and muted but very present acidity. Wish I'd have bought a lot more. 4-12-17-9: 92/100.

Drinking beautifully after pnp. Burnished golden yellow. Faint citrus on the nose. Light in body but large in fruit in the mouth. Fresh, clean and refreshing. Oldest Soave I have had and I have to say I am impressed..Not sure I can see it lasting another 8 years like one pro reviewer estimated but then I have little to compare. 5-11-16-8: 90/100.

Wonderful aroma of fresh cut grass, lemon blossoms, with a strong vanilla note. Strong acidity with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and passionfruit. Strong minerality. Long finish.
