"Flavors of creamed apple, star fruit and blanched almond waltz across the palate in this silky white, laced with a subtle thread of cardamom and anise and underscored by a racy tang of salinity. Finely meshed and enticing, with a long, fragrant finish of floral and herb accents. Drink now through 2036."A.N."

"This super white is really focused, featuring a linear line of salty fruit with apple and lime undertones. Full but tight, it has great length and presence. Drink now or hold."

"A whiff of confectionary spice blows off to reveal notes of peach sorbet and sweet white flowers as the 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Salice blossoms in the glass. Silken and pliant, this impresses further with its graceful character and ripe pit fruits, contrasted by a saline core of minerality. It finishes dramatically long and opulent yet cleans up beautifully with a resonant lemony concentration."

"A mouthwatering white, with well-cut, fine china"like acidity and a lovely range of mirabelle plum, pink grapefruit pith, raw almond and chamomile notes through the minerally, saline-laced finish. Drink now through 2030. "A.N."
