  May 2, 2023 - Well that's an unusual and interesting wine. Had a Munjebel Rosso the other day, but this is our first bianco. The color is a deepish copper to amber color, and there's some particulate, so right off the bat you know you're in for something different here. Smells like lemon, orange, flowers, potpourri, pear, apple, apricot, honeycomb, and chalk. Very alluring nose. Medium (+) body, acid, and finish, with flavors of apple cider, lemon, minerals, earl gray tea, and a bit of floral lift. Some oxidation; not sure if a stylistic choice or not. Rubber closure. Drinks like an aperitif, so enjoying it for the nuance and complexity a bit more post meal. Definitely not for everyone, but interesting for sure. This one's for the geeks. Hard to score, but I'll say 90 pts. for the intrigue and complexity, and it would be a banger score if it was also delicious.

  December 15, 2017 - Orange/Rose in color. We really did not get this wine especially having tried and like his reds. Oxidative and difficult to enjoy and more of a statement than an enjoyable wine. One of those wines that people/sommeliers/winemakers try to persuade you is good but really its not. Impossible to enjoy. 80 at best

  January 29, 2017 - Decanted for one hour. Orange color, and very cloudy. Special aromas of orange peel, beer, hops, rubber, resin etc. Juicy in the mouth, with a little bitterness in the finish. Some tannins too.
