  October 30, 2010 - Black Glass Society: Chapitre du Fresh and Alive (aka Oyster, Seafood and Karaoke) (Pine Close, followed by Jumbo Seafood): Very interesting wine. Sweet nose had rose water scents, raspberries, cherries and a little earth and mineral. Clearly Italian, but very unusual. Palate was every bit as unique. Lots of granitic mineral ran through the whole thing, along with rather neutral grapefruit and pomelo notes. Texture was a little slippery and oily. There was good weight, but nice balance too, with a patina of acidity, especially at the finish, where there was a little burst of freshness before some chalk flavours set in. Very decent, with plenty of character to boot.

  July 25, 2009 - Mild citrus flowers on the nose, bright, almost bracing acidity through the palate. The acidity was almost too much to take by itself, but it was easier to handle once paired with food. Medium body, good mouth feel. Lush at times as it opened up. I would have enjoyed this at a lower price point but as it is I have to give it low a QPR.
