My review: The date on this wine really threw me off, but no despite its age it was still fine to drink. On the nose this Italian white was minerally with what seemed to be apple or something. It was much more on the dryer side with light acidity, and strong tannins. And unfortunately the after palette had this strong grassy hay flavor that lingered in my mouth for a long, long time. I was not a fan.
I had this wine without food.
