Mostly Italians plus Scarecrow and Fonseca (Our favorite high end Italian): Golden in color. The nose is slightly oxidized but in a good way. Also citrus (oranges) and peaches. Medium body, slightly viscous. A nice backbone of acidity. The palate is more citrus and peaches and is quite vibrant. Long finish. Plenty of life left here, it really hasn't aged a whole lot for a 7 year old white wine. This is IIRC mostly Ribolla Gialla with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc.

I enjoyed this bottle even more than my previous bottle. Wonderfully fresh peach notes, honeyed oxidative notes of citrus, and a slightly spicy herbal note. This is a beautiful wine with real character.

The color was a yellow-gold, with the appearance of a rich and full texture. On the palate, I found yellow floral notes, apricot, peach skins and a slight, spicy-herbal note. On the palate, it was deep and rich, yet perfectly balance through vibrant acidity, as citrus tinged peach, flower petals and herbs flowed across the senses. The finish was long with young peach and inner floral tones. A beautiful wine, which seemed to get better and better with time in the glass.

Crisp acidity makes this nice and fresh, seven years after vintage. Citrusy notes that bring to mind yuzu and grapefruit more than lemon or lime. CTSS '13.

Citrus and stone fruit with plenty of florality and honey. Would pass as Vouvray. Good.
