L'Antico Portofino Çimixà 2017

This is a wine of intense subtlety. Deep golden color and tight, but medium acidity. The notes are complex and many, but they are not obvious. Starts with strong saline and brine. Then moves to mineral and stone, with underlying green apple, slight zest, and some minimal tropical notes. It packs a punch and requires a long time on the palate to fully open up and appreciate.

Jill says it tastes like lake water, but I disagree.

L'Ecole No. 41

Columbia Valley Sémillon 2021

New vintage of a benchmark Semillon, 82/18 blend with Sauvignon Blanc. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Some grass and funk notes in nose on initial pour. Pear and peach flavors, rounded mouthfeel, viscous body, slightly hot finish. Orchard and stone fruit aftertaste with very slight skin astringency. Let it open a bit… Not a wine for sipping, more a heavy duty food wine for a veggie, dairy-intensive or fat-rich meal. Gratin or forno dishes for autumn or winter come to mind. Root veggies too. — 2 years ago

Von den Terrassen Kremstal Riesling 2019

lovely lovely Austrian Riesling.

stainless-steel fermentation and ageing obviously.

12.5% abv

medium body.
bursting high acidity.

out of the fridge it's mostly green apple and peach. getting warmer grapefruit pith and peel, some lime, blossom and sea salt with a few rocks and yogurt joined the party.

and that's a party I'd love to attend frequently.

long long 🎯 with bitterness rounding things even more.

good stuff.

paired badly with pasta al forno made from leftovers.
a Chianti or barbera would be a better idea with this great simple dish.

sometimes the food and wine speaks different languages. but both of them knew their way with words.

Wow, this is so similar to a Dal Forno Amarone with rich dark berries. Good finish, very impressed. — 4 years ago
