Lots of citrus and lemon on the nose. Great minerality on the palate with acidity that can cut through and accompany almost any food. Complex with a long, smooth finish.

Aeolian Sailing Trip & a bit of Etna; 8/22/2014-8/31/2014 (Eolian Islands): This wine in good condition is very good. We loved the 2012(Papies 91) but this 2009 has seen one too many summers in Sicily and was oxidised. Shame but a good lesson

Bouqet dominated by oak and smoke. Very aromatic and big. Would probably had been more interresting without the paramount smell of oak.
