March 29, 2023 - Bottle came straight from the winery, via the importer Nicliani, tasted at Oinoscent
The wine shows bright but golden color
In the nose, the wine shows high intensity, big ripe stone fruit profile, citrus jam, quince, honey, barley malt hints, showing layers upon layers, depth and complexity, old school utterly decadent
Palate with high intensity, dense palate, citrus and quince again, grapefruit and lemon peel, thin nutty frame, mineral, preserved lemon, full body almost luscious, long finish

November 20, 2021 - Lovely weight and concentration while having elegance and balance, evolved well over an hour in the glass, will improve.
