Thoroughly enjoyable. Not much of bouquet on the nose. Earthy & smooth. 1 hr decant. May revisit in few yrs.

Blend of Sauv Blanc and Chardonnay with the new world touch. Look out NZ and Australia. An easy drinking white again showing the oak.

Very solid, mid bodied Brunello, especially for the price.

This is consistently matter the year that I’ve had, the best single vocab frog that I found. The 2013 Paleo was no exception. Silky smooth with some underlying earthtones and some dark fruit. Tannic features of this wine still present, and should cellar for another decade or more.
