still fresh, almost chabliesque in crisp minerality. A wonderful surprise.I had no idea these wines from Soave could age so marvelously. But Anselmi is a master.

Bright yellow-gold colour with a lemon sherbetty nose allied to some butter and even a hint of cheese.
On the palate initially bright acidity, but which dies away a little on the finish. Likewise the initial impression is of ripe pineapple, becoming honeyed with a subtle touch of vanilla as it moves towards the finish. Not noticeably sweet, but I'm sure a little RS is playing off against the acidity.

Cork was dark and split. It took three people and at least three devices (screw pull, Ah So, etc.) to extract the cork. The wine had a deep yellow color with citrus notes. Seems that the dry cork (came out in pieces and was hollow!) allowed some air in this bottle and it was a tad oxidized. Bright acidity and a lemony feel fall short when the wine goes to a cloying finish.

Lovely wine, like a liquid version of honey-topped yellow apples. Lots of body, yet plenty of acidity to pull it through. Nicely done and a fine value. Drink now.

Tasted September 13, 2006 at an offline so brief notes only. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of apples, limes and pears. Picked up a bit of sulphur on the nose as well. Flavors of minerals, lime and peach. Light to medium acidity with a light to medium body. Drink now. No value recommendation.

Opened with some trepidation in view of its age, but drinking beautifully. Good colour, fresh and with a lemony palate as previously described.

This wine is still drinking very well. Mature, oaky, but well balanced. Slighly lemony fruit

Starting 11th Year at Amici (Amici Signature Italian, Carrollton, Texas): Surprisingly crisp wine with a hint of honeyed lemon aromas and a bit of a dusty finish. Really enjoyed this wine. 89-92
