Vintage 2017 / expressive smell with butter and pear, quite ‘fat’. Bitters in taste and long aftertaste.

Rich, fruity, good minerality. A food friendly, sophisticated Chard from Sicily.

Decadent and fabulous. Shame on the trade people that dismiss this because it's well known.

Touch of H2S on opening. Glycerol - still with Grapefruit notes and still with a future. Some stone fruit notes on palate. Oak is totally integrated at 9 years (at that time 66 weeks ago).

Catching up on notes from our trip to Sicily 66 weeks ago. A modern western take on Chardonnay. Fermented in Barriques for 10 months - 50% New and 50% Used. Vanilla Oak aromas. Rich but taut on the Medium + palate.

Rich, buttery, and tropical. Lacks some of the zip I've had from it in past vintages though.
