First bottle. PnP. Medium gold. Nose dominated by citrus and liquid stone. On the palate this is quite restrained linear and perhaps will develop more complexity with further age. The high acidity augurs well for longevity.

An odd wine with slight effervescence and funk on top of an otherwise elegant structure with dark fruit and resolved tannins. Not offering a rating, but not certain it was flawed. Starting to brown on the rim.

Just released from the winery. PnP. Medium light gold. Nose has a combination of tropical fruits and citrus. Lovely weight and balance on the palate. Drinking very well at age 9 as the winery said!

PnP. Perfect cork and fill. Medium red. Fragrant nose but with an odd note to it (bacon?). On the palate this is quite awkward/angular with a lot of stem influence and that bacon note again. Perhaps needs more air and more time or is quite possibly a bad bottle. Will wait and see tomorrow - reserving judgement.
Although the bacon (brett? as one fellow wine person suggested) has faded,the wine is still out of balance with a dominance of stem-like flavors. There is underlying fruit but not appealing.

PnP. Perfect cork. Light straw color; immediate nose of chalk, sea air, limestone and citrus. On the palate this has an intense minteral taste with very bracing acidity. With air it develops a silky quality on the mid-palate and the acidity recedes somewhat. Still a baby and more classic than some other vintages of this bottling which sometimes has a more exotic character. This went beautifully with some grilled local halibut.

PnP. Deep red. Exuberant cherry and sandalwood nose. Gutsy on the palate with deep fruit and tangy acidity but this must have some Merlot or another grape besides Sangiovese to be this juicy. Still some tannins to resolve on the finish but although atypical still enjoyable.
