grippy and juicy Veltliner with a long and saline finish

chewy tannins on the finish

but poised with fresh acidity and a nervy

it's a broad-shouldered sip accented by caramelized honey and white pepper

Castello di Ama Vin Santo del Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy 2015 375ml Echolands 5% stated alcoholCrazy aromas of wild hyacinths, blueberries, rose petals, lilies, jasmine, incense, black plums and dark chocolate. Hints of earth and mushrooms, too. The complexity is off the scale. The palate is all about the acidity, which could be edgy enough to throw you off a cliff, but the seamless tannins and beautiful, long finish are also unmistakable in their beauty and finesse. A wine that makes you think. Better in 2021, but it is already a beauty. 98
