Sweet White Wine 2008-04-03 06:31:36 Sweet White

Primo Volo 2001 2008-04-16 04:14:31 Primo Volo is the brainchild of Count Giordano Emo Capodilista and Andrea Faccio, owners of the La Montecchia and Villa Giada wineries, respectively; the wine began as a blend of Merlot from near Padova (in the Veneto) and Barbera from Agliano Terme, outside Asti (in Piemonte).
The first vintage, 1998, was, says, Andrea, “a lark,” but [...] Read more:Primo

Review:
dark fruit mixed with Muenster cheese, and a touch of asparagus. Abundant. Medium to full body. The wine is soft on the fore-palate and transitions to a sour finish. Black cherry tart [...]

Chateau Raymond-Lafon 2002 2008-05-03 02:05:21 89 points
Sauternes, Bordeaux, France. 13.5%
Mellow wine with complex fruit (pears and other things) and far less racey acidity than I’d expected - a bit less than I might have hoped for. In some ways its simple, in others it hints at considerable complexity - I guess that’s just because it is far too young. Too [...] Read more:Chateau

Distinct red-grapefruit scent bespeaks its Sauvignon Blanc component, with a whiff of white pepper adding an aroma accent. Full and rich on the palate, grapefruit and lime; something a little more tropical, maybe green figs and fresh dates, perhaps reflecting its Semillon on the back of the [...] Read more:Valley
