Thursday, September 17, 2020 - Giovanni Manetti on Fontodi (Zoom!): Opaque purple. So much concentration, and a creamy feel, but so light on its feet. Lavender and herbs. Sweet and bitter. I wanted not to be impressed by this, given I can't afford it (having been a buyer of prior vintages), but I failed.
