Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler
Tasted blind. Nice subtle nose of mineral and citrus fruits. Light and supple palate, with gentle acidity and a touch of elegant. Showing flinty mineral charater and some citrusy. Overall a nice approachable white with a mellow mouthfeel showing 4-5 yrs of age. But quite a let down by its short finishing.
Double decanted at home for 30mins before I poured it back into bottle and bring it for the wine lunch. Dark ruby core, densely colored with crimson hue. Nose of dark plum, sour cherry, roast herbs in a mellow tone with some earthiness. Showing well on palate compare to my recent experience, medium rich entry with dark cherry and plum. Nice acidity, smooth and mellow but a bit lack of secondary development. Medium+ finish, fine tannins with a soft grip. Drinking nicely now but it does not impress me as much as my first experience with 2000 Solare at Parker in Asia event 2 years ago.

Dark amber colour, pungent nose suggest high alcohol but there is other nice element like caramel, toffee and espresso. There are a hint of oxidation as well. Nice and smooth palate and 16% ALC goes well to achieve a nice sence of balance with moderate sweetness and acidity. Caramel, honey and espresso on palate. Nice length and well made. It should goes really well with my favourite dessert Tiramisu.
