Terrific! Started a bit “tired” but after 60 min of air it was truly singing! — 11 days ago

I find it puzzling that some wines do this (act “tired” initially but then do a Benjamin Button). But I’ve experienced this before. I’d love to know whether this is associated with certain winemaking techniques.

@Tom Casagrande I agree. But I attribute it to a Nebbiolo which hasn’t seen air for 12 years. But I’m no expert on the matter besides the experience you have: starting tired but opening surprisingly after some time in the glass.

My first white bottle selection wasn’t available so I chose this instead. Not a bad consolation prize: apple, white peach, citrus nose, medium body, engaging acidity backed by minerality. Great accompaniment to the table’s seafood and chicken entrées. — a month ago

Going big and still holding back. Nothing and everything. Bathtub candles, oregano rolls, machine screws, cinnamon turmeric parfait. Wow. — a month ago
