Terenzuola "Fosso di Corsano" Vermentino, Colli di Luni 2006

Full yellow.

Nose of pineapple jelly, hazelnut, some citrus zest, pepper and mint.

Intensely pepper spicy in the mouth with acid/mineral chew immediately hitting the front teeth. Tanzer's "inner-mouth perfume" in spades. Quite rich and deep to boot, but not at all heavy. Peppermint goes long into the chewy, tactile finish. RFG. Also opened earlier today, when it showed some residual CO2 and a Riesling-like petrol character.


$35? Another gift from Sariya. Did this see some new(ish) oak? Seems like a hint, but probably not.
