VINTAGE 2019
James Suckling – 91
Copper orange-colored with distinct flor-like aromas of dried lemons, olives, brine, walnuts and sourdough. Oily and full-bodied but with a dry, salty freshness. Drink now.
Vinous – 91
The 2019 Vernaccia di Oristano Flor bursts from the glass, a deep golden-yellow color. A rich bouquet blends dried apricots and peaches with hazelnut, almond custard and a savory whiff of crushed oysters. It is nearly glycerol in feel with cooling acidity to balance and waves of ripe pit fruits, complemented by sweet spices and hints of ground ginger. This tapers off long and staining, letting a touch of heat poke through, yet not distracting. A salty sensation lingers, and the mouth is left waterig for more.
