Domaine Hatzimichalis Veriki

點擊次數：2816

The 2006 VERIKI is a 50-50 Chardonnay/Robola blend. It has fine body, a feeling of substance and gravitas, and some grassy nuances that become apparent after it warms up and airs out. You don’t notice the acid at first because of the wine’s depth and mouthfeel, but there is a crisp, mouthwatering finish. An hour after opening, it is still fresh, fruity, flavorful and persistent. This is well priced and a wine that should be able to hold for a few years. The blend is unusual, but the more I drank it, the more I liked it. It grows on you—a good sign. Note: Although I do not believe the 2007 will be available in the USA, I feel constrained to note that the 2007 Veriki samples I saw showed some problems and did not show nearly as well as the 2006. The ’08 vintage will be available soon but as yet it is untasted. Drink the 2006 vintage from now-2012. Importer: Athenee Importers & Distributors LTD., Hempstead, N.Y.; tel: (516) 505-4800
