Community Tasting Notes 6

  May 7, 2023 - 中宝石红，闻香有些许灌木丛，香草奶油，醋栗，青味和木质香气，入口酸度高，酒液咸，收口甜，单宁紧涩，有些糊嘴，颗粒细腻，山楂一类红果混合着黑果，木质香气，口感顺滑，余味香料感和木质香气。一款正值适饮期的酒，带着一股强烈的意大利气质，法桶影响明显，充分陈年展现出很融合的状态，漂亮的酸度，精致的细节打磨，各方面表现都很平衡，优雅的风格令人印象深刻。

  September 1, 2020 - Exceptional Sicilian red, an internationalized blend of Nero d'Avola, Petit Verdot, Syrah, etc., at 13.5% alc. Soft, silky, embraceable, dark, opaque, gentle.
  Beautifully designed and printed label, as well.

  May 9, 2020 - Das ist endlich ein Süditaliener der grossen Spass macht! Kein übersüsses Bonbon, keine Traubenmarmelade die nach zwei Schlucken eine Überzuckerung verursacht. Nein, einach ganz grosses Kino!
  Wird mit der Reife noch zulegen. Dann sicher mehr als 92 Punkte

  July 23, 2019 - Pour moi l’équilibre n’est pas la. Saveurs intenses et beaucoup de prune et réglisse. Cependant, entre acidité trop vive et chaleur alcoolique sans trouver son pied. Pas meilleur le lendemain.
  Beaucoup de profondeur aromatique, mais manque d’intégration? Serait intéressant à regoûter dans quelques années.
  RQP **1/2
