Greenish yellow; strawy, peaty, green apple and melon; lean, vertical almost laser-blade, at the same time with a good substance and dry extract. Not a sweet mineral water like Mosel but lemon juice from Normandy (sic) — 9 years ago

Let's begin with one word: FRAGRANCE. Just back from Italia, I will posit that this deep-garnet siren is just about the essence of that famed land on ones nostrils. My olfactory is pleased, greets this cuvee: *ciao*. We get right to business, where smelling is concerned: how very red tea of you, Amore. How very cinar-esque you smell today. Is that chanterelle on your breath, cracked black pepper in your hair, gravel crunching warmly under your feet? Thought so, certo. Moving right along, we address that thing essential to all dancers, composers and clothiers: STRUCTURE. Yours is on the delicious knife-edge of acidic to too-acidic, tannic to too-tannic, in both cases falling on the right side of the blade. Your alcohol level is just warm enough, not hot, and your finish is somehow cool and lingering. You are a cool cat, balanced and self assured. But wait: there's more, because we didn't talk abt your other PERFUMES leaping from the glass and traveling lovingly to my olfactory: brown spice, astronaut strawberry, cranberry, purple flower. DOLCE & GABBANA/ we have, at last, your newest fragrance: La Dolce Susumaniello. Carry on! 🇮🇹 — 10 years ago

like drinking a razor blade doused in lemon zest, this is a very young Corton Charlemagne that has a long future. It is intense and lovely, very tight and sharp, delicious. Glad I bought it. — 10 years ago

Monday is the best night to #saberit! We paired this with a hamachi, maguro, avocado and rice bowl. This all Avize, old vine cuvée is given four years on the lees and has richness as well as razor sharp minerality. The perfect wine for a blade show! — 10 years ago
