2009 Donnafugata Sicilia Tancredi

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, April 23, 2021 - I had always wanted to taste this wine and was afraid that my expectations were too high and yet, this mostly blend of Cabernet and Nero d'avola is worth it. Dark colour with mauve trimmings. Elegant aromas of iron ore, bleeding flesh, hazelnuts, violets, mahogany, dried herbs, melted butter or even anise on a mineral bed. Pure complexity on the nose with elegance and precision. On the palate stands out for its watery texture, a surprising almost absence of structure and a preponderant acidity together with a high level of sediments. Scarce and slightly alcoholic finish. Delicious aftertaste of ripe cherries. Next time I will try to put less vodka in my beef stroganoff :-)
By the way consider that score this bottle below 90 is nothing more than a joke.

Siempre había querido probar este vino y estaba temiendo que mis expectativas fuesen demasiado altas y sin embargo esta mayoritariamente mezcla de Cabernet y Nero d'avola merece la pena. De un oscuro color con ribetes malvas. Elegantes aromas de óxido de hierro, carne sangrante, avellanas, violetas, caoba, hierbas secas, mantequilla derretida o incluso anís sobre un fondo mineral. Pura complejidad en nariz con elegancia y precisión. Al paladar destaca por su textura acuosa, una sorprendente casi ausencia de estructura y una acidez preponderante junto a un alto nivel de sedimentos. Final escaso y ligeramente alcohólico. Delicioso postgusto a cerezas maduras. La próxima vez intentaré poner menos vodka a la ternera stroganoff :-) Por cierto considera que puntuar a este vino por debajo de un 90 es un chiste.
