Considering most of the holiday break was spent doing things around the house I had been neglecting the rest of the year, it wasn't quite the restful 10 days I had been hoping for. Nevertheless, I found time to drink a bottle here & there.
The bottle was a gift and most likely a lift from our guest's own liquor cabinet. Oh stop, we've all done this. Re-gifting wine is as common as changing one's underpants...it happens everyday. Moving on...
Contrary to the time of year, I was somewhat excited to enjoy a bottle of what I would typically classify a summer wine. I drink so much of the red stuff that this was a welcome change of pace.
The Casalini was as expected. Light & fruity (apple & lemon) with a crisp finish. While I did find it to be a bit flat at first, it is more obviously a fault of mine than of the wine itself. I need a few sips to really find a wine's groove. Upon second & even thirds, there was a mildly grassy feel and even provided some of the bite I initially thought had been absent.
Overall, I wouldn't classify this as one of the most complex wines I've ever had but it was
I hope you all had a Happy New Year and look forward to what lies ahead.
Until next time.
Cheers,
E.S.
