The 2007 Mil Rosis is a fatter, richer wine than the 2008 tasted alongside it. Here the mineral notes are more in the background, while the opulent fruit takes center stage. Scents of juicy mango, tropical fruit, super-ripe apricots and truffles wrap around the palate all the way through to the textured, creamy finish. Mil Rosis is Chardonnay, Riesling and Traminer. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017.
These are the most impressive wines across the board I have tasted from Sant’Elena.
