Served blind. My buddy brought this with some reservation about pre-mox, and fortunately there was none. Began with a reduced/matchstick aroma, which with air kinda receded and was replaced by coconut/oak and some smoke. Texture was initially glossy (one of my buddies at the table called it oily), with fennel. With air, the wine settles down and shows the class of the terroir, with melon and wet stone, plus banana (something in the tropical realm). I really enjoyed this.

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction; 12/13/2018-12/15/2018 (Spiaggia - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Still nicely fresh with good concentration. Floral aromas, just slightly more tropical than I would prefer.

HDH December auction; 12/13/2018-12/15/2018 (Chicago, IL): Fairly large-scaled nose, with a touch of oakiness, but the palate is the thing that is super weird here. Some sour cream and onion thing going on. Not really my speed.
