• 2012 Cantina Terlan Lagrein Porphyr

  Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Alto Adige - Südtirol

  A really solid wine, intense currant and plum, oak(30% new), cedar, grip more similar to Cab, deep and meaty; more modern at this stage but confident cellaring will bring out classic character, wouldn't mind having some of this in the cellar.

  The most expensive white wine from Italy, described as the Montrachet of Italy; 90% Pinot Bianco, 7% Chardonnay, and 3% Sauvignon; pure, focused, rich and round but awesome mineral, long finish; needs time.

Had an opportunity to taste a limited amount of wines. Cantina Terlan was a great opportunity to taste a lot of wines that I've been wanting to, try a lot of different wines at one place, and a variety of whites that I haven't done since Summa15. Zyme was incredibly impressive as always.
