The nicely elegant but tautly muscular middle weight plus flavors possess obvious muscle on the powerful

Note that my suggested drinking window takes into account the magnum format

This is perfectly good but not at its usual level

Graci, Etna Contrada Arcuria Bianco Size:6x750ml raspberry and lavenderThe 2014 Etna Bianco Arcura shows a more oxidative style. The wine is aged in large oak casks. Apricot, honey and toasted nut emerge from the bouquet, with butterscotch and candied fruit at the back. The wine reveals a creamy consistency and makes a very nice impact in the mouth. Because of those advanced aromas, I am suggesting a slightly shorter drinking window than I otherwise would have assigned to this Carricante based white.
