  Just a little underwhelming. Decent enough, yet lacks that thing previous vintages have provided.

  6/6/2020 - Eudemis Does not like this wine:

  13.5% alcohol. 100% Turbiana, which is a regional name for Verdicchio. Distinctive embossed bottle. The cork feels synthetic, although it is made to look like natural cork. Very pale colour.
  The nose is floral but not very distinctive. The mouth has commendable freshness, but it is dominated by an unfortunate off-dry feel. There is a reasonable kick in the finish, but not enough to outweigh the residual sugar. There is also an impression of dilution. Initially I was afraid that the bottle might be too cold, but in fact things worsen significantly as the wine warms up; is there a temperature that is cold enough for this wine?
  Not my style.

  Strågul. Interessant og skiftende, middels intens duft av gul frukt, blomster, sitron, et svakt saltpreg. Fyldig med glatt tekstur. Først lett undermoden frukt som av friske grønne epler, så mer moden frukt, som av gule plommer/melon. Syren virker først litt lav, men kommer etterhvert. Svakt urtete, et lite bitterpreg. Ganske kompleks. Spennende vin.

  Consistent with my previous bottle. Pale colour with spiced pear, apricot and almond. Pear and almond flavours with zesty lemon flavours with a creamy finish.

  Gras et ample, lui manque un peu d'acidité.
  Surtout des fruits tropicaux. Long mais manque de complexité.
