  August 19, 2017 - Assemblage de plusieurs cépages locaux.
  Oeil : jaune très intense, bien net par ailleurs, forte visco en parois
  Nez : belle projection aromatique, d'intensité moyenne+, frais, minéral, fruité blanc et jaune, épicé, végétal
  Bouche : sec, ample à gras, acidité rafraîchissante, amertume moyenne, belle prise minérale, persistance moyenne à moyenne-courte, rétro homogène
  Conclusion: excellent+, beaucoup de plaisir ici, différent et très bien fait. N'eut été de sa persistance un peu décevante, l'ensemble aurait mérité plus de notation...

  June 24, 2016 - H.I.Jones 73rd Birthday at Pokai Parera - Day 1 (Ekatahuna, New Zealand): Dusty nose. Characterful and herbal. Mineral and concentrated. Very earthy quality is a pronounced aspect of the wine.

  February 6, 2016 - Two Etna Biancos: Brighter, deeper colour. Also brighter on the bouquet with white florals, citric aromas, pineapple chunks and peaches. There was a little creamy vanilla, but not as much as for the 2013, and a fair whiff of seaspray. On palate, I strongly preferred the 2012 to the 2013. It seemed lower acid, but with sufficient acid. It seemed richer and riper than the 2012 with excellent phenolics, expressing itself as a pleasing bitterness on the long finish. The oak seemed more integrated and the oily, tactile mouthfeel more complex. The flavours were limes, melon, almonds, guava, wet limestone and clotted cream. Good dry extract, weight and volume. The wine was ‘cheese’ to the 2013’s ‘chalk’. Noone saw any link or similarity between this wine and the 2013, thinking that my wine was from the Rhone. Finishing the bottle the next day there was more pronounced salinity to match the fine citrus on bouquet and more salt and chalk on the finish. Overall, the wine was drinking better on the second day. Ideally, I’d still give this wine another couple of years …
