The 3 rd bottle of this wine since last November. On nose : consistent apple , lemon and blanched almond scents. On palate:this particular bottle had a strong edge of quinine along with the flint and flavours from above, giving it a faintly bitter( but not entirely unpleasant )aspect.

Well...first dinner wine of the NewYear. This is the second bottle of this vintage in two months...even better than the first. On nose : Meyer lemon, almonds and apples. On palate:A follow through on flavours from above, with a more complex profile consisting of flint,minerals tarragon and steel.... This wine can hold its own against a more costly Pieropan La Rocca soave!.....elements of Chablis are noted as it warms up....memorable.

Typical Garganega profile: apple skin, Meyer lemon, almonds.... and as it warms up a hint of honeysuckle.... had the '09 of this recently:hints of caramel and applesauce...drink while young!...This 2014 is great with Salmon.

Gouté en succursalle pour les nouveaux arrivage.
100% Garganega, assez riche et complexe, bien fait pour le prix.
