Admittedly, I don't know much about Timorasso and I haven't had other expressions of the grape to compare it to, but I thought this was a lovely wine. Herbaceous, with a slightly bitter finish. Reminded me of gruner, or a leaner style of pinot gris, though the timorasso was less upfront with its fruitiness. Pithy stone fruits and minerality. Nectarine, bitter almond, chervil. On first opening, it had quite a funny (unpleasant) nose, but after decanting for ~1hr, it blew off and opened nicely. Paired very well with homemade pesto. I think there may be some aging potential here, so I'll be a while before I open my last bottle.

This was my first experience with Timorasso, knowingly at least. I will not be rushing out to get more. Has a strange, almost oxidative quality. Not crisp enough for my tastes. Will revisit this evening with different food and see if I missed something, but at the moment rather meh.

This was much better with our food pairing (sausage and ravioli in red sauce). The oxidative notes I mentioned last time were not present this time: deep honeyed almond, sea salt, good minerality. On the palate, more of the same, and wonderful savory note. Great density and long finish.

Rich, full bodied, some fruit on the attack then slightly bitter grassy finish. The love child of chenin blanc and Sauvignon blanc?
