Dinner at La Bottega in Geneva.
Clandestin Les Semblabes - very fresh and vibrant. Later some marmalade notes.
2015 Bandini Villa Pomona Chianti Classico Riserva - lots of sediment here. Really fragrant, with lots of herbs and potpourri nose, also a bit fruity. Nose was beautiful about 2 hours later.
2016 Villa Guelpa Sizzano - minty with eucalyptus notes.
2014 San Lorenzo Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Campo delle Oche - flinty, a little stinky, but really ripe on the palate... almost polyurethane. An hour later it was really like a Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, toasty, almost coffee. Stinky but not quite pipi de chat.
2015 Riccardi Reale Cesanese di Olevano Romano Càlitro - ripe and pruny, a little peaty and bretty, woodsy, smoky, almost a little peppery. Later on after aeration pretty tannic, and really medicinal. Not a fan.
2018 Marabino Moscato della Torre - lots of Anjou pear, flinty, mineral, and acetone.
