Lunch with Salvino Benanti (Benanti Winery, Etna, Sicily): Layer after layer of classic, lost, rustic balance, drinking as if with sparklers and finishing with gentle fireworks. Something floral; something autumnal; a little earth and minerality too. Superb showing for this bottle, which continued to evolve, not fading with another 10 hours of air.

Beau vin frais et léger. Au nez, des notes d'élevage, du tabac et de la fumée avec des prunes. En bouches, prune confites et dattes sur des tannins fondus avec une acidité vive. Finale courte.

Une appellation à découvrir, j'ai beaucoup aimé ce vin. Des notes florales, on sent que ce vin vient d'un terroir particulier, belle fraicheur, superbe.17/20

The colour is red with some maturing signs of brown. The nose is filled with a variety of red berries, smoke, liqourice and some nebbiolo-like "perfume". Great structure with still present acidity and long complex taste. Will probably not become very much better, but stay on top another 2-3 years depending on the storing conditions.

Wunderschöne Reife, ähnelt einer reifen cabernetlastigen Bordeaux-Cuvee, Paprika, schwarzbeerig, anfängliche sekundäre Aromen...
