This wine is tinted light yellow. The nose is what I really love about Vermentino. It smells of the ocean, with savory streaks of Meyer lemon and a hint of white blossoms. The palate is so full of salinity and minerals that it begs for a food pairing. — 5 months ago

Needs 90 minutes. Before then it’s really weird. Goes from a 7.0 to a 9.7 in 2 hours. Yes. It’s true.

Nose graphite explosion. Blackberry flower. Cherry flower.

Palate is silky blackberry. Man. That Forte elegance. Gorgeous shimmering mountain stream infused with blackberries.

As this opens more nose is gorgeous blackberry flower. Palate is Pete t blackberry flower. Hint of graphite.

Wow. So close to melo and anfiteatro.

This needs to be glass decanted. You get new weirdness from the beginning with each pour.

Internal@aromatics are wow! Blackberry liquor. Lilacs. Expansive. Delicious. Liquid silk made from flowers.

Finish is the most gorgeous elegant blackberry liquor. Hint of savoriness. Wow wow wow. Wine.

With more air intense lilacs and violets.

Nose initially reticent, some reductive notes, peach and apricot in the background. Fresh, green apple, balanced acidity. Delightful wine that should benefit from a couple years of bottle age — 4 years ago

Stunning. Delicious. One of my fav wines of the last 1.5 years. Godello aged under flor that competes with white Burgundy/ Sonoma Coast chards that cost double. Sourced from two tiny plots of 80-100 yr old vines. 80% old foudre, 20% amphora under flor, no malo, no stirring. Sunny bouquet, honeycomb, Asian pear, gun flint, crushed stone, brisk, seamless, cool and classy. $55. — 8 months ago

Very solid. 18 yet again fails to be as bad as critics want it to be. Had to order this because of a corked 2017 Podere Forte Melo which stung but is all in the game. — 2 years ago

A nice complex wine with a dominant Vermentino grape, — 3 years ago

Really well done and balanced. The vanilla is melo against the oak & paired well with a marinara spinach ravioli. Was thinking different and set me right, wish they all were this good. — 4 years ago

Más Godello, con un almuerzo de cangrejo, pulpo y verduras. Te llama la atención de inmediato y la mantiene. Un marco bastante resistente aquí con un acabado de tierra vivo. Awesome. — a year ago

9.0

Nose of Blackberry and lavender with some gravel/stone and maybe some dried beef. Medium to strong tannins, bright acidity, mid to low alcohol, deep and textured flavors on the palate similar to nose, maybe also some dried currant or plum. Fruit and herbal/stone/savory balance quite well, and the lower alcohol than most structured firm reds increases its drinkability. — 3 years ago
