  Wow has this changed faces. I initially commented on how this is a nice aperitif wine. Not any more, this is just firing on all cylinders. Serious notes of wash rind cheese and smoke. The nutty flavor on the palate is embraced by a leathery texture that has really only been noticeable in this bottle. If you have any of this left give a bottle a whirl it is in an amazing spot. A- for weirdness!

  Still one of my favorites, excellent apertif wine. Food pairings are difficult outside cheeses, olives and mushrooms. Definitely brings you back to the glass with saline notes of nuts.

  The 'lazio' is crisp and clean in the glass with a very pronounced green tone. It also has a tick viscosity. The aroma is of sour apple and a perfume that almost could compete with a camila bush. In the mouth the texture is oily and has a more honeydew melon hint but the acid is still present as is evident by the pools collected under the tongue. A very nice way to be reminded of the vastness of great wines often overlooked.

  Exotic nose of almonds, fresh herbs, light tobacco and fluoride wash (the strawberry kind). Palate has some banana flavors, and a waxiness consistency to it. The finish is nice and energetic.

  One of my favorite whites. Bordering on orange wine. Mades by nuns! Very unique. Rosenthal import. $20.
