Fractalage Likes this wine:
August 8, 2022 - Brought that bottle to the beach. The one that had been opened for the last day and then poured back to exhibit the excellent qualities of this wine.
Herbs, tobacco, licorice all brought such good palate expression as I drank it on the Pomponino beach.
Such a great wine to last this long and to be so much enjoyed from bottle.
Love it.
Last bottle so will have to look out for it at auction.

As I contemplate this wine after two weeks of time, I'm haunted by it's purity, concentration, complexity and length.
Literally haunted.
It seemed to be that iconic choice, by accident, due to all the other wines opened the night before, for this to have been left in the bottle with such volume to have been chosen to be brought to this beach on this very rare warm August day.
I was seen by those on the beach that I had this bottle with a white label, my feet in the sand with cold waves crashing onto my hips, taking occasional sips. Looking at the cliffs, the horizon, the water, the birds, my family, with this exquisite juice in my mouth, lingering in all its complexity, was heaven.
This experience haunts me.
I wish to recreate it, but I know that was a one of one experience in August of 2022. Priceless.324 views
