Winemaker or Winery Tasting Notes*: The 2015 Curtimenta was aged for nine months in used French oak. It comes in at 13% alcohol. Probably my favorite Curtimenta so far, this is most notable for its brilliant integration of oak. It feels full in the mouth. It adds grip. Yet, it never seems particularly woody and it maintains its freshness. The finish here is exceptional, lingering and clean, with grip. This is beautiful, a mixture of elegance and distinction. It is a great choice for a food wine.
