Further to my Note of Aug 2, '19; this is #2. Overall consistent notes for a still delicious wine; more mature fruit has not decreased the enjoyment. Likely peaked but at a good plateau for now.

Bought 3b for 15/b from WL about five years ago--curious about the grape from a favorite region (N Italy), able to explore with low risk, intriguing TN with WS89. First bottle. Decanted with heavy sediment for its age. Dark purple; fragrant black fruit nose, some floral; mature fruit with some graphite; some persistence. Delicious--a revelation, glad I have more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

Second bottle showed a little more blueberry and yogurt on the nose, and a smidge of tar/asphalt on the midpalate. Gorgeous with lemon-pepper broccoli and angel hair pasta with a tomato sauce. 90/100

Aerated into a decanter. I agree with the previous note; the WS comments and score were pretty spot-on. The interesting sweet note on the attack was something I'm not used to seeing. The WS tasting notes called it "gumdrop"-like. I also detected a hint of mint on the nose that was refreshing.
This was our first experience with Teroldego, and it was a very positive one. I will probably seek out other, similar wines in the future. We'll call it "very good," 88/100.

Wow. Really nice wine. balanced with fruit and tannin. 13% alcohol; a new grape and a nice wine to drink; will drink again if I can find it.
