Pale gold. Pronounced aromas of almond, lemon, lime, grapefruit, melon, ginger, honeysuckle, cream, brioche, smoke. Medium+ acidity. Waxy and long finish. Outstanding wine and tertiary aromas and flavours may well develop further with age.

This is great. Similar to the Classico but with more body depth complexity. Lovely with crab linguine. Piero pan delivers QPR again. No idea where this was on the maturity curve.

Golden straw coloured. Unctuous expressive nose of tropical fruits, lime, slate and fresh Spring florals. Fleshy, refreshing and lingering palate. Trademark La Rocca.

It is still on the (very) early side of its drinking window with the lasts sips being the best (so not rated because the wine was still showing a positive evolution). The fruit was very ripe, giving a reflection of the hot vintage with medium intense acids.

As for previous note this is impressively rich, although so much so I wonder if it will hold on much longer. As in, it has loads of peaches and custard character and I think the joy of it is in the freshness it currently shows.
