2006 Monte Tondo Recioto di Soave Classico - Italy, Veneto, Recioto di Soave Classico (4/3/2015) WineBid, $15/375 ml
rated 92 points: Tea-green-yellow; cork-finished; quick tearing, viscous. 14 pabv.
Nose: searching sweet tea, white stone fruit, and lacquer, minted/savoried dried peaches and/or apricots, perhaps a little bit medicinal, sort of like a minor Chartreuse: white grapes, spicy,earthy, with gentle white pepper and a tiny bit of heat. Reminiscences of old-time anesthetics, such as a jot of ethyl ether. Perhaps some tertiary suggestions, that the experienced will probably recognize.
Sweet, with a little bite of white tannin; .white soy sauce; slightly bitter-Italian finish, fine length, with some heat that will blow off. Needs perhaps another 3 to 5 years to settle down a bit.
