Noteringar:
2008-02-26 23:54 WA: The 2006 Guru is this winery’s bid to produce a cult-ish white wine as well. It is a blend of typical varietals, including Gouveio, Viosinho, Codega do Larinho and Rabigato from 40 year old vines. I was surprised to hear that this wine was raised in 100% new French oak (for just six months, however), as it seems fresh, bright and lively, full of personality and zest. There was no maloactic fermentation. There are grassy notes, and pungent aromatics as the Gouveio (a.k.a. Verdelho) character shines through. The wine shows lively acid, and good concentration. It has a certain summery feel to it – it will be something fine to drink with shellfish on a warm summer day, although it has more substance than a simple summer quaffer. Despite the crispness, the wine has some softness around the edges and nice texture. The winemaker thinks this has a ten year life span ahead of it. I would prefer to be more conservative until proven wrong. Drink now-2013. Importer: Eric Solomon, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
