1999 vintage. Never had a Friesa this old(!) That Friesa is a progenitor of Nebbiolo finally makes sense. The candied strawberry takes a back seat to earthy, forest floor, lavender and violets.

Black berries, spices, anise, crushed flowers, very fresh and polished tanins. A really good Freisa on a very nice vintage. To drink or hold.

Pork braised in milk and capers? Yeah, this'll do. A filthy bully of strawberry-flavored testosterone, all dressed up for church.
