Dolomiti Schiava 2023

This wine pours up in a medium-dark ruby color, with some rosy lavender hints around the rim. The nose hit me as almost unpleasantly funky. And I like funk. There is an extremely earthy quality to the smell, almost burying the dark fruit. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, and the palate shows flavors of plum, black currant and blackberry. Notes of cola become more noticeable on the finish, putting me in mind of a Pinot Noir. It is a clean, fresh sip, with no oak to get in the way. The tannins are tame, so pairing with chicken is probably a better idea than beef. — 2 months ago

Tenutæ Lageder Porer Südtirol-Alto Adige DOC Pinot Grigio 2019

This wine is a much more complex Pinot Grigio than typical. It has a mix of fruit flavors including peach and citrus that are not typical of most Pinot Grigios. A top quality Pinot Grigio. — 2 years ago

No. 9 Zwischen den Seen Auslese Trockenbeerenauslese Scheurebe 1998

Opened yesterday, when it was breathtaking, notes from today. On the nose: candied ginger, molasses, cinnamon spice, honey. On the palate: lovely spice and acidity, good sweetness, but beautifully tempered by the lively acidity. Spicy ginger and molasses on the finish. Yum.

@Delectable Wine this is number 3, not 9.

Tenutæ Lageder Römigberg Alto Adige Kalterersee Classico 2017

This is what Vernatsch is all about!
Light (11.5% alc) and crystal clean yet quite expressive with cherries and plumes and cranberries. There’s also a whiff of lemon peel and a stony, herby undertone.
Crisp & light on the palate and very, very juicy with a pinch of herby spice and a mineral backbone. Despite all it’s lightness this has loads of precision, character & personality. Love it!!
