  Etna Rosso: faded in the glass, rich and smokey on the nose. Restrained on the palate, dried petals and berry skins. Cranberry. Some tertiary flavours, wisps of mushroom. Short finish. Obviously the oldest wine on the day and suitably gentle. But didn't excite me. But the grape obviously has aging potential

  unevolved and all elbows with little fruit to give any sense of finesse. not sure if its too young or too old, but its awkward as heck and difficult to explain how it once was quite enjoyable

  clear in color, and showing leather and espresso in balance with dried cherry. fragrant and tannins soft. its in peak drinking now, though I wouldn't wait longer the fruit is just present and I wouldn't want any less

  Light colored, aromatic wine with lifted scents of red cherry and roses. Very tart and intense attack, shrill and lemony. Not sure how much this fruit had to begin with, but it’s all dried up now… okay, air and deeper pours into the bottle help a lot, sweetening and deepening the palate substantially. Still acidic and lithe. Bouquet sweetens up as well, veering towards kitsch. All in all, a disjointed, rough around the edge, heady wine that in the end I enjoy as a bistro styled wine best suited to robust, simple food.

  At a business lunch - I brought a bottle and we pnp'd. Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate was dark cherry, plum, tobacco and a hint of spice. The finish was moderate to long. I believe a couple of hours in a decanter would have dramatically raised the score.
