Gravner Venezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla 2013

This was poured into a decanter about 30 minutes prior to service; no formal notes. This bottle of 2013 “Ribolla” was poured alongside the 2012 Paolo Bea “Arboreus” and they we remarkably similar. The Gravner pours a burnished gold color and was more dried apricot than peach (Arboreus) along with honeysuckle, marmalade and nuts. As with the Arboreus, this is a mind expanding wine, super complex. You could hold and drink through 2030 but why would you want to when it’s this great right now?
