still much life left in this bottle; light golden straw in color; bright and grassy/herbaceous, nice acidic backbone, med-light bodied, 12.5%; paired well with genoa salumis and harder/sharper cheeses.

Very nice showing. I was surprised by how vibrant and fun this '12 was after four years in bottle. It leans toward kerosine and green tea rather than fresh fruit. The structure cuts through food and the finish lingers plenty long enough to contemplate. I'd say drink now, but who knows with the screw top enclosure?

Fascinating rubber and citrus on the nose with a racy grapefruit/lime follow through. Paired with with a veggie hand pie, cutting through the rich crust. Fun, unique white.

Still alert and bracing and undiminished. Love its quinine/grapefruit citric nose and the tangy minerality! 4 + 13 + 16 + 6
