The producer is an octogenarian who works in Friuli and has dedicated his life to the discovery, preservation and promotion of near extinct grape varietals. This white has brightness with saline qualities and honey notes. Fresh and floral, it is a lovely wine for the summer.
One other thing: the cork is a composite of two different cork types, the traditional cork sadwiched between the reconstituted type. I don't think I've seen that before. — 6 years ago

Great torre in the making. Sweet black and red cherry, strawberry and dusty like tannins. Nice structure. This beauty has 10-15 years ahead of it even with some air and food it already works great — 6 years ago
5th Coravin pour since 7/25/15, still great, starting to mature. Deep ruby red with compkex aromas of black fruit, herbs and vanilla spice. The wine opened with fresh sweet ripe dark fruit, blackberry and black cherry, with oak, leather and cacao. Well balanced, tannins continuing to develop nicely, slightly savory, finishing with sweet oak notes. My notes from my five pours using Coravin were very consistent, but now noticing the wine maturing. It really
works! Works! Check back in 6months, 1/3 bottle left. — 7 years ago
Krug Grande Cuvée in Double Magnum. Harry's Bar. 2004 base wine edition. Another great effort from the House of Krug. Toasty and elegant, fine bubbles, with a deepness to it that few champagnes can offer. Not at the level of the 2002 base as of yet, but delicious none the less. Acidity is balanced and works perfectly to enhance the aromas and overall long finish. Excellent as usual. I would probably hold for another 5-7 years before opening another large format from this edition. — 7 years ago
2016 opened Nov 2021. This wine is young and just beginning to be drinkable. I give an 8.9 more for what I think it can become rather than what it is now (8.7). Heavy tobacco, nettles, and blackberry on the nose. Light fruit on the front, blackberries and — and someone mentioned vanilla? — I get the vanilla stick flavor — that becomes bitter dark chocolate on the mid palate. Tannins on the front of the palate are soft and of a medium density — so it took me off guard when this wine hit me with a strongly bitter but acidic ending. I found a bit off putting. Ten amore years and I think those components will fade. Drink this with a seared ribeye steak, or maybe a rich double chocolate cake. It’s a pretty powerful tipple and I suspect it will overwhelm most other pairings. — 3 years ago
