I am lacking balance - the wine is a bit sticky - you get a lot of very matured dark fruit - some peber - the fruit is not very well integrated into the wine

Perfekt til en bøf på grillen. Duften er fin uden særlige karakterer. Smagen er blød, sødlig, balanceret og med en passende syre i afslutningen. Til DKK 85 nærmest et fund af en sommervin til grillen. Bør serveres kølig for at dæmpe det sødlige. Mums

Veel donker fruit, mooie kruidige toetsen, medium bodied, mooie intensiteit en meer dan voldoende aciditeit om al dat fruit fris te houden. Mooie structuur ook (was zelfs een beetje verbaasd over de tannines). Door omstandigheden stond een halve fles 4 dagen in de frigo maar de wijn was gisteren nog zeer mooi.

color: mid-purple; nose: raspberry, oak, and cinnamon -- faint but pleasant; taste: light-to-medium mouth feel, bright fruit taste, clean finish and smooth peppery tannins; overall: very nice (probably the best of the five or six nero d'avolas I've tried!), understated but also polished and nuanced, decent QPR at $13 and worth buying more of at that price

Pop and pour. Interesting aromatics showing wild flowers, red licorice, and a little funky feet. Very silky mouthfeel with focused cherry and berry fruit with some red licorice flavors that glide down the middle of the palate. Medium acid and integrated tanninis round out this med-bodied package. A little cedar and french oak comes through on the finish. After a couple of hours, the fruit faded a bit and some heat became evident.
Day#2 - Fruit is more pronounced but lacking on the finish - somewhat bitter and short. Great mouthfeel though.

Authentic Nero d’Avola wine (100 percent) that was aged for four months in Allier and Tronçais barriques. Intense ruby-red in color with black reflections and a powerful and aromatic bouquet of wild berries, licorice, dark chocolate and notes of roasted chestnuts. Good concentration of dark forest fruits and sweet spices on the palate, supported by an animating acid structure and noticeable but well-integrated tannins. Extended length. To be decanted one hour prior to tasting. Drink it now and over the next 2-3 years. A whole lot of wine for the money.
Authentieke Nero d’Avola-wijn (100 percent) met een rijping van vier maanden op Allier en Tronçais barriques. Intense robijnrode kleur met wat zwarte schakeringen en een krachtig, aromatisch bouquet van wilde bessen, zoethout, zwarte chocolade en wat tonen van geroosterde kastanjes. Mooie concentratie van bosvruchtenfruit en zachte kruiden in de mond, ondersteund door een levendige aciditeit en stevige maar goed geïntegreerde tannines. Lange afdronk. Best een uur op voorhand te decanteren. Te drinken: nu en in de volgende 2-3 jaren. Zeer goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding.

Leuchtendes purppurot; Nase mittlerer Intensität mit typischen Nero d'Avola-Noten (fassige Pflaume, Kirsche), anfangs frischen Kaffeebohnen, später Röstnoten und Lakritz; am Gaumen kräftige Säure, geradlinig, sehr weich, mit erstaunlich gutem Abgang, auch hier wieder Kaffeenoten; insgesamt ein trinkiger Wein mit gutem PLV, nicht mehr und nicht weniger...

This wine takes me back to our trip to Siciliy. Soft, clean nero d'avola fruit here. Simple, but very enjoyable and would go great with pizza. No brainer for $12.

After tasting this today, I had a bottle with a stonking great lamb casserole - cooked for 4 hours and with built in feta! This really is an amazing value Italian wine. Buy some now while you still can.

Dark and brooding. Crushed seaweed with a huge dollop of melted nougat on the back end. Very distinctive and interesting.

Gaia and Kir-Yianna Greek Wines and Italian value wines (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): Fabulous dark forest fruits on the nose with a silky palette of concentrated fruit, soft berries and a delicate dancing tannins. Cracking value as well.
