Didn’t take formal notes as this was at dinner... beautiful all around, smoky and mineral, deep and rich. Tannins have mellowed, fruit intensity is high, an exciting wine that is even better in 2019

Very Etna on the developing nose. It shows great depth, ripe cherries and dark volcanic minerality. But ripeness is an issue on the palate, which gets a bit heavy with alcohol and sweetness, even if the obvious minerality works the other way. Aromatically great, balancewise not so.
