Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): Decanted for 1hr before tasting Earthy, spicy, red cherry, sour cherry, raspberry, peppery, smoky, toasty tannins. Palate is balanced, spicy, sour cherry, fine texture, silky smooth, med body, long finish Outstanding.

Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): Intoxicating perfume, utterly decadent, overripe stone and citrus fruit, some floral notes, fresh marmelade, grape-y, apricot and peach notes, botrytis notes Palate following the nose pattern, full body, high acidity, mineral, highly bitter with bergamot/bitter orange peel concentrate, weirdly enough - and sadly I might add - cuts rather short. Impressive in the nose, the palate is not up to par, very aggressive price for what it is. Unless it needs time

Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): 90% Vermentino 10% other varieties. Straightforward white wine profile, citrus notes, some herbal notes, lemon leaves, green fruit/grapefruit peel. Palate plain, bitter notes, lemon peel, med body, boring
