Delicious. Just needed some time (I often find these too big when first released, like Condrieu). This was really nice--Zibibbo exotic notes, touch of honey, quite sappy on finish, hint of wild herbs. Think best now.

Golden in color with an interesting old winery nose. It's definitely a bit oxidative in style but I like it. It gives it a nutty complexity that rounds it up. Medium bodied and far from the sweet end of the spectrum but this is quite interesting. Had it with corvina in an olive, tomato and basil salsa and it was quite delicious.

Gold/light orange color. Smells so interesting: honey, peanut brittle and saline on top of peaches and lychee. Medium acidity and a light/medium-body. Juicy apricots, peachese and lychee create a tropical frame for the green olive, spiced tea and sea salt elements. Very cool and stylish stuff, per usual from Arianna. A unique flavor profile. Tasted blind, as Tooch said, I could see guessing this as a Northern Rhone white blend.

Not sure what to think as I haven't tried this win in the past. Color medium/dark gold, already Im concerned as this is not consistent with previous reviews. Medium intensity aromas of honeysuckle/apple with bit of baking spice. Very thin on the palate, lacking any body, with only medium acidity. Not obvious, but based on previous reviews, Im guessing this was corked.

Nice package (see other tasting notes), but lacking zip, probably because I waited too long.
