Arboreus Umbria IGT Trebbiano
Umbria, Italy
Popped and poured; no formal notes. This was poured alongside the 2013 Gravner Ribolla and they we remarkably similar. The Arboreus was more dried peach than apricot (Gravner). Super complex. Looking back on my previous notes, they still apply. That being said, drink now as I don’t have a good read on what happens next with this wine and it’s delivering the good so well right now. Bottle No. 5864

Aug 8th, 2023This is one of those show stopper wines. Everything about it, the bottle, the color in the decanter, the color in the glass, the smell, the flavors on the palate…nothing out of place. Dried fruit, Oolong tea, ocean spray giving way to a long, gorgeous, generous finish. Almost tannic? This paired beautifully with a bowl of cherry tomatoes that we sautéed in some butter and garlic. This particular bottle was hand-carried back from Umbria. Bottle No. 5867

This wine spent in my wishlist for a long time. And at last, spontaneously, the party has formed and we seized a bottle. Initially closed and shy nose, requires time to open up. Oxidised apples, apricots, amber, zest, and well integrated VA. Medium tannins, medium acidity, all combining into long and tasty symphony of oxidised apple juice.

Super leathery and rich. Slightly tannic. Great.
