Southern Italy: Interesting nose because behind the fruits there is a slightly volatile complexity; honeyed solvent gasoline thing I can't quite pin down. It made me anticipate a much richer and sweeter palate. This was too warm so the EtOH really came out over the apple/peach/licorice nose. Very good.

This is the girl you hang out with on Tuesday night, because she's the only one available, and while you're out with her, say about 1AM, and you've had a hell of a night, really laughing and digging everything and no tension like there is with some of the better looking girls you know, and you realize that she's got all sorts of endearing quirks, stuff she's into and ways that she's developed her personality, and just before you go to bed, you think... damn, why isn't she my girlfriend?
Pineapple & lemon & lots more that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It's rare that half a bottle is gone before I've really started examining a wine, but that happened here. Delicious with prosciutto, delicious with caprese, delicious with grilled sardines.

Still drinking decently. Should be dead, but it's not. Dry, slight petroleum undertones, light fruit. Mild and nice. Easy drinking

Unique wine. Deep, golden color. Explosive nose of caramel, vanilla and faintly of citrus fruit. Full-bodied, round texture, though lacking acidity.

Very good with crab linguine. Excellent value for money.
