A wonderful mix of perfume and dark red fruits. First tasted about 2 years ago, I thought it was unbalanced with first perfume from the frappato coming through followed by the dark red fruits of the nero d'avola. This time it was, to my mind, in perfect balance. Moral of the story, keep for 4-5 years then enjoy with roast pork. My only disappointment was the length - came up a little short. But overall a very exciting, truly "different" red wine.

Not an exeptionally complex wine but certainly a delicioius one. Light to medium bodied, best served cool, with a fair amount of sweetness. But the sweetness carries a bitter edge which avoids it being in any way cloying. Lovely stuff (albeit rather expensive for what it is).

Wonderful second day wine of quality! Nose has a slightly smoky and very plummy wonderful presence. Palate is jammy and rich with minerality and light tannins. Imagine a very jammy pinot noir. Really impressive.

Port-like nose but fresh youthful palate. Good.
