Yup der Axel ist ein Meister one even if you don’t feel like opening a bottle (what fool…?) it always captures you. Only have one left. No idea what prices are these days, used to be seriously cheap. Bon choix.

Mart,

I am sure if i blind you (in a black glass) the different wines of Donati or Maule, you will guess them. For ex, Maule’s Masieri Bianco, Sassaia and Pico. As you work your way up from Masieri to the Pico, the wines get more and more mineral, salty and serious. Sure they have similar characteristics, but I am sure you will tell the difference.

Same with Donati, IMHO

However, this could make for a very interesting discussion. Perhaps the terroir of Maule/Donati, natural yeasts incl, are quite strong and perhaps dominate the wine(s)? I would still prefer this over a wine that tastes “manufactured”.

I do totally agree that a producer’s signature can be quite evident across his/her entire line. The best ex of this for me is Cornelissen.

Cheers,

Agree but there is something funny with them (I taste anything but drink nat yeast, (n)low sulphur wines.) I have the idea that the wines from the same producer often have the same ‘character’ even though the grapes can be different. Try it out for instance with the more basic wines (red and white) from Maule also with Donati you have that. Always think it is the yeasts. You can train it but it is not easy my score is below 50%… 🙁

Never tasted this wine, and you made me regret it! Great note.

DJ Design,

It is really great, and I found a small store in SF that sells the wines of Serres. I don’t know the selection, but they very well may have this wine!
See you this summer bro! SF here we come!

Had a bottle of the ’05 recently the day after trying the ’08.

I liked the ’08- good weight on the palate as you say, tho I didn’t get much butteriness. I liked the honeyed nose followed by crackling acid on the palate and a clean citrys finish.

The ’05 was noticealby older- a little bit of oxygen gave a more tertiary nutty nose. Still racy acid, but seemed thinner and less generous on the fruit front. A little bit past it.
