Sicily, Italy
See previous note - impressive longevity on this Sicilian SB: honeyed oxidative notes, lemon curd, gooseberry, bit grassy and then when it warmed up: the telltale spearmint. What a treat, really unique although starting it’s inevitable decline.

Aug 2nd, 2022Finally gained access to my wine cellar and found this SB from Sicily: showing beautifully with dark straw color and sporting that unique spearmint note along with lemon oil, lanolin and late summer grass. Firm acidic backbone and oily fat quality on palate. Just really fantastic w/Thai.

Apr 4th, 2021One of the most unique SBs ever: distinct spearmint & menthol with some lemon balm and citrus - great weight & acidity but the finish was not as balanced as previous bottles

May 14th, 2016An intriguing SB from Sicily - distinct spearmint note w/yellow fruit, not overdone, mid-weight balanced acidity - all knitted together well
