9.1

Luminous straw color. Intense, perfumed nose of apple, pear and lemon verbena, with a hint of tropical fruit emerging from the background. Then rich and suave with very good juicy cut to the pomaceous orchard fruit flavors. Much richer and denser than the average Italian Pinot Grigio. Finishes long and pure. Well done.

2004. Surprising for a Barbera. Yes, it had acidity, but the acidity had mellowed over the years. Less fruity than a typical Barbera and with more earthiness. Strong with the Funghi pizza at Marta and with the Rabbit Meatballs. Great suggestion by Brian (one of the somms). Also, a good deal: Delectable says the retail price is around $65 for current release and $50 for the 2004. List price at Marta was only $72! — 10 years ago

2011 vintage. Weingut Daniel & Marta Grantenbein Chardonnay 2011 - from Jay. Quick note/thought on this Swiss Chardonnay from Graubunden - Roasted hazelnuts - honey suckle - white acacia - crushed rocks - beautiful nose - very PM in style on the nose but with greater energy/tension. Very good acidity / well integrated. Lovely poise with good attack. Great minerality - altogether a fabulous expression of Chardonnay. Good finish. Lovely little cracker of a wine. A lovely find but virtually impossible to source within Switzerland let alone outside (2.3 acres under vine in total for the Chardonnay). 93/100. — 10 years ago

Cabernet i merlot de vinyes velles en terreny calcari. Vermell violat poc dens. Aromes molt potents de fruits vermells i madurs . Tanins intensos i fusta present que no molesta per apreciar gust de fruit molt madur amb final potent de torrats . 14g Marta Pedra. Montblanc. — 11 years ago
