  I'd start drinking these up. Losing a bit a freshness. Still excellent though.

  Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. Pleased to report that after almost a year, this wine is essentially unchanged. A year in barrique and seven years of bottle-aging before release are obviously of great benefit to this varietal. Drink at least through 2020.

  Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. This note is for the "Selezione" bottling, which is different from the Venezia Giulia IGT version.
  This is an amazingly youthful, clean, clear, precise white. The nose is clean, youthful, with green pear, white peaches, lemon, sliced almonds, smoke and wet stone. The palate is dry, with medium (+) acidity and medium alcohol (13%). The palate is consistent with the nose, with just a touch of oak. The flavor intensity is medium (+), with a rich, long finish. The palate is consistent with the nose, with a pleasant, slightly bitter finish. This wine is drinking well now and seems much younger than 12 years of age.

  Pop and poured. Drank over 1.5 hours at B&B PP.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of heady perfumed yellow flowers, cool rocky stones minerality, citrus lemon, sweet mandarin oranges, white peach, lanolin, slight honey. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of stony rocky minerality, citrus lemon, white peach, sweet mandarin orange, honey, lanolin wax, slight white pepper spice. Long finish with slight bitter almond.
  Very good quality. Highly complex. Starts off rather steely but gains depth with more air. An intellectual wine more than a really pleasurable one. Can still develop over the next 4-5 years.
  My first time trying this varietal Vitovska. Spends a year in barrel and then a few more years in tank until the winemaker decides it is ready for release.
