Sicily, ItalyThis opens with a lifted, savoury nose of dried cherry, thyme, smoked spices, and crushed rocks, bolstered by undergrowth and cedar from seven years of bottle age. It's quite complex, and evolves nicely in the glass over time, suggesting this is just starting to enter its peak. There's really no need to wait, though. Excellent concentration and balance on the palate, with fine, polished tannins that are just starting to resolve. This is the real deal and a fine value at this price.Tasted: 01 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:
Sicily, ItalyShowing a touch of volatility, but in an appealing way, this delicate nerello mascalese exhibits dates and baked cherries mingled with subtle dried flowers and spices. Precise and lively on the palate, it offers refined tannins which frame charming red berry before a nutty, earthy finish. Linear and lithe in style, this wine translates the sense of place and the grape gracefully.Tasted: 17 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:
