  Not as balanced as other Timorassos from Massa (showing some heat), but definitely an awesome wine. Very noticeable tannin on this beastly white. Accompanying the tannin is some fresh acid, strawberries, apricot, and what I envision to be white flowers. Had with steak. Not a mistake.

  First time with this. Excellent wine. Wonderful creamy texture (though no oak), wild herbs, freshness, with length. Versatile on the table--and feels right right now. Will need to revisit.

  This is really good. It offers honeyed grapefruit with intense minerality. It reminds me of tasting a spoonful of honey and lemon when I was a kid. There is a hint of apple and a core chalkiness/nuttiness that is essential but hard to describe. The finish is long and tangy.

  Smells good - barely ripe peach, golden apple, citrus juice, wet stone, sea breeze/brine, dried herbs/hay, with everything seemingly intensified by a judicious touch of VA. Similar flavors. Serious tart fresh citrusy acidity and nice stony and saline minerality complement and balance fleshier stone fruit and apple. Some silkiness to the body, likewise offset by the acidity so it's never heavy. Good stuff! I imagine this will age wonderfully, but drinking well now too.

  Really appealing nose of honey, apricot stones, stone fruits in general and a hint of unroasted nuts (almonds, peanuts). On the palate again that honey and bee wax (almost as if you chewed on a honeycomb) together with nectarines and again fresh nuts. Very creamy and could almost fool one into believing it got a bit of oak (which it didn't). Long lingering finish mirroring the spectrum of aromas. Lovely wine!
