1998 Gravner Ribolla

[TheEngineer]

Another one of these...what the heck is in my mouth?? I think I like it...I think I like it a lot....or at least I think I do. Yes I do...

It is clear golden color. It noses like a crisp and nutty wine. Really dry but makes me think of honey, nuts nuts. It is a really full body, mouth filling and achingly complex. Earthly minerality and a an acidity which contributes to a LONG finish. I don't think I've ever had a white quite like this.

I want to drink it more to look for more.....I've had several glasses already.......I've never had a Ribolla...If not for the price (at $80) and the apparent lack of supply, I would get a case. apparently there was an over 6 months wait for this to come in.
