  10 year old Soave that I probably sold as a 3 year old Soave when I worked the floor of a restaurant in 2017. Yeah, it pours somewhat of a deep gold. Thankfully, there's no oxidation on the nose or palate at all. Instead...
  
  Macerated/bruised yellow peach, over ripe melon, lemon zest, bitter honey, salt caramen and cinnamon on the nose. Over ripe yellow peach, over ripe apricot, cinnamon, allspice and bitter honey on the palate. Palate is more spice-driven while the nose is more fruit driven, though the flavors are mostly consistant. Finishes with crisp lemon juice. Intensity of flavors and aromas are both medium. At age 10, this is texturally creamy and structurally elegant. Subtle in a good way. After about an hour in the glass, the intensity of flavors increases to medium +.
  
  Medium + body with surprising medium acid considering the bottle age. If I had another bottle of this, I would decant it for an hour before pouring to let the flavors open up. As it stands, it's delicious, and made a great pairing with sauteed sockeye salmon. Don't age it any longer, though.

  Retail $25. 100% Garganega. I held onto this one for too long, I fear. Golden color suggests oxidation and the palate confirms it. Drinkable?

  Drank at a party. Loved by all. Exceeded expectations. Could definitely age further, particularly in the magnum format.

  deep yellow color, bright citrus and apricot scents, full bodied, nectar mouthfeel, great supporting acidity, flavors of peach, nectarine, jasmine tea and orange peel carried off with a hint of honey, in an excellent spot to drink now, the elements are in the right proportions

  Really in a great spot for drinking right now. Rather evolved color for a wine that hasn’t even seen its fourth birthday, but I’ve noted that about previous vintages of this wine with a couple years of age. Maturing tree fruit flavors, with a couple more years to go.
