Light gold with silver/greenish highlights. Toasty, hazelnut and brown butter notes dominate the nose, with nice pear fruit and stony minerality underneath. Soft and full in the mouth, with oaky and mineral flavors overshadowing the fruit a bit. Bone-dry, with good acidity, and after the lean midpalate the finish stretches out and lasts for a while. B/B+. Was $23 fro WTSO.com. Imported by MHW, Ltd, NYC.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
