Appearance: Clear with fine deposits forming, Medium intensity lemon color
Nose: Clean, Medium- intensity with notes of stone fruits, sweet spices
Palate: Dry, crisp high acidity, Medium-bodied, with rich texture, lots of sweet spices, honey, nuts and fruit notes.
Conclusion: Rare variety showing good aging potential with more complexity in flavors than on the nose. The acidity is not harsh and balanced well with the masculine sweet spices (with a nice kick) on the palate.

Pine resin, melon, apricot, gooseberry, honey/beeswax, chalky mineral, and white flowers on the nose. Complex and nicely textured over the midpalate, with medium long finish. This is a smoking value, and I suspect stashing a couple in the cellar would pay dividends...if I could keep my hands off of them.

Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Light nose of apricot and a bit of peach. Flavors of apricot core and a dash of honey. Bright acidity, light to medium body. Drink now.

Wines of Italy (Farpointe Cellar): A very solid wine. There was beeswax and honey on the nose that was mixed with a little apricot. The palate was clean, and had apricot, honey, floral notes, and a nice mineral finish.
