The best bottling of this wine? For the 2020, the tannins are unusually restrained and the acid is ripping. More like this! 12%

Limeskal og umoden fersken på næsen. Samme limeskal og umodne ferskner samt granny smith æbler i munden. Lille bittert bid. Stringent høj syre hele vejen igennem.

Popped and poured at five some degrees above cellar temp. Served as an aperitif wine: a tremendous hit; it lasted through most of dinner with five on the bottle. Pale like good Chardonnay. Very crisp, and satisfying to the point of encouraging small sips rather than gulps. I like this varietal a lot, at least in these hands. Punches above its weight.

Pale yellow color. A very shy nose--I do seem to get a suggestion of stone fruit. On the tongue this wine is very light-bodied and bone dry. Not much in the way of fruit flavors, but there is the slightest hint of minerality. A touch of acid tartness makes this a very refreshing wine.

I don’t know much about ribolla gialla, but I find this wine classy. The bulk of the flavors are citrus and apple, but it doesn’t taste generic. There are nuances here that aren’t really describable but make all the difference.

Pale yellow in the glass. Nose seemed almost nonexistent and I was trying to pay attention (maybe I have the beginning of a cold). Palate was crisp but with little in the way of flavor. Withholding rating at this time and going to sit on my remaining bottles for a while since this is usually an AR wine I really enjoy.
