Honeyed florals, candied ginger, fennel and crushed green apples form a spicy, inviting bouquet as the 2023 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. Ripe orchard fruit plays against a core of salty minerals and savory spices. The 2023 tapers off perfumed and long, leaving a pleasantly sour citrus tinge. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024) — 2 months ago

Not a lot on the nose here. But Judeka certainly wakes up on the palate. Traditional Sicilian white varietals are mellowed with Chardonnay. No oak used in the aging process keeps the palate fruit forward. Mostly peach and apricot. There’s a perky green apple note on the finish. Well proportioned acidity and some sage on the finish. An unique wine. — 3 years ago

Tasted semi-blind and wrote down the same thing I did for the 2018: it smells like church! I’m trying to figure out why I wrote it, but the minerality is similar to what you smell when you enter an old white marble church. Maybe some of the florals too?
