New listing; something different. A rare oak-aged pinot grigio, which explains older vintage and riserva designation. Apple, pear, dried apricot, toasty and slightly resinous aromas. Mid-weight, with good acidity, some creaminess, plus toasty richness and bitterness from the barrels. Good length. Now to 2009.
