Day one for Brian after being sober for so long. Once, during dry January, I forced to live on nothing but food and water for days.

Med lemon. Med (-) aromas of golden delicious apple, anise, earth, and some lees influence. 4 mos. in very large neutral French and Slavonian oak casks leave no perceptible oak spice. Dry, with med (+) acidity, med (+) tannins, med (+) alcohol (13.5%). The palate is smooth, with a touch of creaminess. Nicely balanced, with med (+) body, flavor intensity and length. Drink now, not likely to improve with further aging.

Great Verdicchio with a moderate amount of age on it (they can go much longer). Yellow apple, pear, lemon, salinity, brine, green almonds. Medium + body, great mouthfeel. Good with baked oysters.

Amaretto, bruised bananas foster, flan give the nose a decidedly dessert feel which is also slightly funky. The palate is dry, broad, oily, and nutty. The flavor profile seems about as developed as it’s going to usefully get, M acid is keeping this alive for now but it’s feeling slightly tired and I wouldn’t try holding any longer. This paired well with an oily pasta with fennel and cumin seed, chickpeas, kale, lemon, and feta but the food had more …

Last bottle of 6. Sadly oxidized like the bottle we had last summer. However in December, we had a beautifully evolved wine which was still full of life.

One of my friends who is not a huge white wine drinker said this was the wine of the night, and one of his favorite whites ever. Paired it with some spicy chicken wings which turned out great. This is a crowd pleaser. There are a few moving parts, and good acidity. A great white.

Lemon, saline/mineral. Decent acidity. Slightly sweet. Apple and some floral notes. Awesome pairing with seared scallops with fennel in lemon caper sauce.

This was almost undrinkable at day 1, very sharp, almost nothing on the nose. Day 2 it showed quite nice, day 3 it was pretty flat and again very sharp.

PnP. Medium rich gold. Saline citrus (lemony) nose. Nice richness on the palate but perhaps now needs the higher acidity. Intriguing wine - drink up.

Not sure why the word Classico is repeated in the database (maybe somebody suffered a hiccup when typing), but this is the closest to what I see on the label of my bottle. 13.5% alcohol. Very short dense cork. The colour is pale. The nose is dominated by fresh apples, not unlike what I get in some Maconnais wines. The mouth is equally fresh, with a saline component in the finish; altogether very satisfying, and worked well with the pan-fried …

Solid, nice acid. Seller says it's not showing normal and we'll try again later.

NB: this was a 2016 half-bottle (375ml), with no 'Reserva' anywhere on front or back label, it was the 'Classico Superiore DOC' level. Bought The Wine Society UK for £6.75 Liked this very much, a simple well-made dry(ish) white wine with plenty of personality. Ready, drink up. Good VFMoney. C....deep straw already. N....not much T....lovely earthy flavours backed up by lemon pith, ripe apples, enough acidity, fruit is good though not outstanding. Well-made but not a complex wine, oak is …

Similar, but not exactly the same, as last bottle. Not sure if just extremely reductive, or if slightly tainted by transport, or exposure. Not singing like previous bottles from vintage and same case.

I do not think it was corked, but not the purity or freshness as previous bottles.

Like this wine. Clean and crisp. Mineral, stone and honey. First bottle from a full case. Drink or hold.

I was quite surprised. Not expected much but this Verdicchio has a wonderful saline, inner core, good amount of fruit which isn’t too upfront and a long finish. Everyone at the dinner table liked it. A wine not only for beginners.

PnP. A bit softer than the last bottle with less intense mineral qualities. But still very nice and good QPR.

PnP. Better integrated than the last bottle but perhaps not as interesting with the intense saline components followed by good fruit depth and finish. Very interesting wine.
