The golden yellow hues are promising of a moderately mature wine. The nose offers a combination of ripeness (dry fruit) and freshness (lemons, pineapple), suggesting a relatively late harvest. The multitude of carbon dioxide bubbles on the palate creates a pleasantly fresh mouth feel. Rather full-bodied, dry, still vigorous and in good shape. Rich, warm, with an agreeable aftertaste. Not in least humble; if anything, it is solemn. Be sure to examine what a somewhat matured Italian Riesling has to offer.
