Tasting - Beltrame Friulano

Beltrame Friulano
Name: Beltrame Friulano
Variety: 100% Tocai Friulano
Region: Friuli
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $9.95

Winery review: Straw-coloured yellow with a pale green tint express an intense, delicately aromatic and floral bouquet.The flavour is dry, soft, slightly fruity, with slightly bitter nuance in its almond aftertaste, and suggestion of peach.

My review: This wine smelled woody, like a cigar box but had hints of unpleasant sulfur. It tasted of dried and citrus fruit as well as smoke indicating oak. The finish was tart. Not a bad experience, except for the disappointment in the nose.
