Marchesi de' Frescobaldi (Parco dei Principi, Rome): 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon. Medium gold colour. Full-on aromas of tropical fruit, that typical, um, cat thing, and some oak. Surprisingly, the oak does not mask or obscure the other aromas. Like it a lot.

Over-oaked to the point where the wine had lost most of it fruit and all its crisp acidity. Nice vanilla flavors were at best an unsatisfactory consolation.
