Decanted and now 2h after decant. Aromas of lanolin, Meyer lemon, tart apples, ripe pears, hint of minerals and herbs. Tart apples and Meyer lemon on palate w barely ripe pears, mild minerals and a hint of herbs. Full bodied w mildly waxy and mild viscous mouthfeel. Excellent acids give the wine lift and freshness. Nice moderately long finish of Meyer lemon and minerals. Nicely done. 90+

Smoky, nutty tropical fruit nose. On the palate, lemon, nuts, minerality & saltiness. What a texture. Very gastronomic wine. 2hrs of air in the decanter to get in the zone

What a cool wine that is absolutely in the zone now. Opens with a waxy, nutty fullness, almost like aged LdH. After an hour it just opens to cascades of dense white fruit, salinity, acid. Super balanced. It evolves and turns sweeter with a honey/lemon note as it sits. Hard to put down. Bravo.

Brought 3 bottles to Mom’s 90th birthday party for 40 people. In contrast to the previous bottle of this I had, these bottles were pristine. There was a beautiful floral and tropical fruited nose. The palate was very mineral driven with a wet stone sensation. Finish was long with an intact melange of ripe fruit. Quite delicious.

A Good Tuesday, Vol. VI: Italians (Benanti, Calafe, Produttori, Cornelissen, D&R, Quintarelli...: These are cool, geeky wines. Fun to serve blind, as no one ever thinks of Greco di Tufo! Really evolves in the glass. A chameleon. A bit waxy, god weight and tension. dense white fruit, salinity, acid. Really pops with food. Held strong over the course of the night. Fun wine.
