Very much enjoyed the whites. Loved the white Sangiovese, very fresh with pear and white cherry fruit, some flowers. Alvin's trebbiano had a very minerally Vit B6 nose, though that blew off somewhat. I'd be willing to bet that if one decanted that or simply pulled a cork 24 hours in advance, it would have filled out quite a bit--I don't think we saw everything it was built to deliver (I note that the retail on it was $90C). Re my Ansonaco, you mention oak but this was done in amphorae so somthing else was going on. It's also a wine that would benefit from more decanting (I decanted it at home for two hours that morning) as the remainder, which I took home, was even better later that night. It's a gorgeous wine.
We had a very enjoyable assortment of whites to start – not always the case, as in this theme people tend to gravitate toward reds.
Your Selvapiana was the best red of the day, I thought. That nose! My Melini was pretty good but definitely not in the same class. Fun coincidence to have two 95's, though. Can't argue with your notes on the rest. All good, a really great tasting. Btw, the Corbaia? I removed the cork that evening intending us to finish it as well but we were kind of wined out so it didn't happen. I forgot to recork--the next day? Oxidized. So it's at peak now.
Thanks again for hosting, and I agree with John's comment about Alvin's farro salad. Excellent!
