WTN: Masi Masianco 2007

Venetia.
A 75-25 blend of Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo.

Light golden in the glass.

Spicy, citrus, toast, smoke on the nose.

Fairly weighty and round in the mouth, toasty, lemon and lime, good tangy acidity, quite rich, creamy, spicy, almonds, lots of oak-caramel, with some drying bitter lemon rind toward the end.

With time, the wine revealed more of an edge: spicy, peppery and lime, with evident oak, which just made everything weird.

Toasty on the mouthwatering finish.

A bit too heavy on the oak for my taste. If I did drink this again, it would be with something like a roast pork, salmon or other rich seafood.

Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian).

Thanks for the note - I still haven't tasted a Masi white yet and this was one of the wines that I was thinking about. It sounds a shame about the oak, as I'd not expect iot to recede quickly.

New one for me too Ian. Not sure I would be too keen on this one though.
How is Norwich doing?

Norwich is fine, if a little damp. Not cold yet, at least not cold enough to plant the bulbs for next spring.

How are things where you are?
