Magna Mater

Ômina Romana

Ars Magna Chardonnay 2020

Dry on the palate and elegant, with medium acidity.

Full bodied and bold with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, yellow apples, pears, lemons, light earth, oak, spices, vanilla, nuts, smoke, light almonds and white pepper.

Long buttery finish with almonds and limes.

This is a very tasty and elegant 4-year-old oaky Chardonnay from Lazio in Italy. Aging nicely now, and will continue to do so in the next few years. Would be nice to revisit it in couple of years.

A good quality wine, and better when not too cold.

This is not my favorite style, but this one is really nice. Feels like a white Burgundy.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Chardonnay grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$65.

Laubenheimer St. Remigiusberg Riesling 2021

Needs some air time to fully show its complexity. Intense nose has freshly-sliced green apple and loads of slatey minerality. In the mouth there’s intense acidity magna-leving the crisp green apple and citrus pith fruit and mineral notes. Not the most concentrated or lengthy but a great value. — 9 months ago

Domaine Perrin Ch.

Aloxe-Corton Les Boutieres Pinot Noir 2016

What a playful, lively burgundy pinot! Rose petals and cherry, hay and an earthy thing. Quite inviting. The palate is wonderfully made, a strong acid drive, a silky mouthfeel which leaves a layer of tenderness on the sides and which lasts for ever, even after the fruity notes of the finish fade away, a good mater with great balance, a good, powerful mid palate with a power house of a fruit and gentle tannins that help this silky layer expand for ever. This is a serious burgundy Pinot, and I'd like to have that every time I pop up a bottle from these parts. Organic wine. It raised to challenge of a spicy (hot hot Trinidad scorpion hot) dish which is not usually a burgundy thing. — 4 years ago
