Gorgeous vintage of this. Honeyed nose with superb sea air minerality. Palate is rich and dense with terrific shape and texture. Intense minerality and great concentration. Tactile depth. Needs some air and that 14.5% does peek through which is not thrilling me. Let’s see.

Dec 22nd, 2025Nose is intensely mineral. Some Apricot and melon. Palate has nice viscosity and richness allied with intense contrasting minerality and lovely apricot fruit and honeyed note on the very long finish. Terrific. Very juicy and compact as it warms up.

This wine grew on me over time and was better day 2. A more contemplative fiano- the texture demands it almost. Tons of minerality and almost absurdly dry in character. 14.5% on the bottle but didn’t feel it.

On open nose is a bit earthy. Mineral. A pleasant hint of porcini.
Palate has great tropical fruit. Very mineral. Great mouthfeel. Just feels luxurious. Really caresses the palate. Almost like a very good meursault. Delicious. A hint of unctuous was but in a good way. Just a kiss of an echo of honey tang that balances it out. Some lovely saltiness.

Nice with a few years of age. The 14.5% does come through a bit more than I was hoping, though perhaps that also gives it the depth of body that I enjoy. Flowers, minerals, some bitterness, good acid.
