Black cherry, dried strawberry, hints of violet and cassis. Lively and long, with plenty of acid and a savory tang. Pretty. Delicious, and drinking beautifully now. — 8 years ago

8.8

Lovely smoky, floral Fiano nose. Full-bodied and rich, with -maybe- just enough acidity. Would have enjoyed this more were it less heavy: it's pushing 14%, and, as the Italians would say, "stucchevole." Hard to have more than a glass. Bottle is heavy, too. — 9 years ago

Gingerbread and molasses. Butterscotch. Remarkably dry for Malvasia, with searing acidity. In a word, delicious. — 9 years ago

Menthol, dirt, leather, iron, and cherries. Fascinating. Pretty. Fading, perhaps, but still a delightful find. — 9 years ago

Singing a high-pitched chorus like Etna Bianco syncopated with Gemischter Satz. — 9 years ago
