Nutty, oily, with some oxidative notes that seem to go away. Very full-bodied, white pit fruits and almonds, earth. Seems fresher on day 2! A lower acid vintage of Valentini, mature but holding. B+

Leesy nose of nuts, vegetal funk and florality with some pear to pineapple fruit character on the background. Lavendel, lime blossom, almond cookies and aniseed. Dry and medium bodied palate with carrying mid-level acidity. Open waxy fruit profile and a touch of varnish. Long. I liked this quite a lot. Some reduction, but that blew off. Otherwise rather refined expression in fact.

Still amazingly fresh! Herbs, Honey, Almonds; round and creamy. Stunning wine which has still decades of life left.

No formal notes, attractive oxidised style, acorn flavours, earthy, extremely good, my favourite in the vertical.

Bella bocca, naso un po' sottotono ed inchiodato. Gran bella bevuta, comunque.
