January 17, 2021 - Rich, full bodied, some fruit on the attack then slightly bitter grassy finish. The love child of chenin blanc and Sauvignon blanc?

August 30, 2020 - Admittedly, I don't know much about Timorasso and I haven't had other expressions of the grape to compare it to, but I thought this was a lovely wine. Herbaceous, with a slightly bitter finish. Reminded me of gruner, or a leaner style of pinot gris, though the timorasso was less upfront with its fruitiness. Pithy stone fruits and minerality. Nectarine, bitter almond, chervil. On first opening, it had quite a funny (unpleasant) nose, but after decanting for ~1hr, it blew off and opened nicely. Paired very well with homemade pesto. I think there may be some aging potential here, so I'll be a while before I open my last bottle.

The oxidative notes I mentioned last time were not present this time: deep honeyed almond, sea salt, good minerality. On the palate, more of the same, and wonderful savory note. Great density and long finish.
