  I have 6 bottles and opened first now. It was good to wait, the wine has great complexity and has been aging well! Nice oilines and green apple

  Gekocht omdat ik schone herinneringen koester aan het huis Ricasoli. In het glas intens goudgeel, helder. De neus is medium plus intens. Vanille, boter, hout, kamperfoelie. Maar ook de frisheid van groene appel. Totaal ongewoon. In de mond medium plus zuren, volle body en mondgevoel. Boem. Er is fruit, hout, power en subtiliteit. Het is wat ongewoon, maar wat een knap staaltje van de wijnmaker. Fascinerend. Trouwens ook lekker.

  Briefly: muted nose, heavily-oaked fruit on the palate; very one-dimensional - tastes like a basic Australian chardonnay, perhaps with rather less acidity. The finish is just oak. I get that this is a style that some people like, but this is not sophisticated wine.
  
  Would be be decent value at US$7-8. But at ~US$17 it's way over-priced for what it is.

  Pas mal. Je n'aurais pas cru que c'était essentiellement du Chardo (la description étant "Prevalently made from Chardonnay"). J'ai eu des notes de Garganega et de Viognier. J'aurais été bluffé à l'aveugle. C'est parfumé, assez de corps, on sent l'élevage mais l'acidité supporte le tout. Ça montre un assez bel équilibre. Pas certain que j'achèterais à nouveau mais je ne serais pas décu d'en boire un verre dans le futur. Ambivalent. Je serais intéressé à en boire un avec de l'âge.
