Anthithilia 2012 - cattaratto _ Ansonica

high acidity

immense old world complexity

dried soil

sherry savoriness

long finish

remarkable white wine from sicily
Astoundingly low price

Ben Rye 2011

darker cousin of Sauternes

not too heavy or sticky

just layers of clear fruits

pure

acidity not strongly apparent

good with pineapple dessert 

Cheron Crozes-Hermitage la couteau de la baume 2011
white pepper
cloves
potpourri
sweet vanilla

after one day,
much greater complexity
strong olive notes
the old world emerges from its debris

Churchill's 20 year old tawny port
Red orange
Almonds and light citrus nose
Tart cherries in a subtle herbal syrup
Some more almonds
Savory and a bit creamy like sherry

A party drink with all that cherry
