Nose: light red fruit, melon?? , mineral, herb, smoke Palate: sweet red cherry, mineral, light tanin and smoky length.
Nose was muted. Palate was really ‘tasty’ and I kept coming back for more. The subtle red fruit backed up with very interesting tannin and length. Loved it despite the muted nose.

My second bottle that I have opened. Last one I opened was in 2020. It has definitely passed its drinking window. Lost most of its fruit - how unfortunate

Mushrooms and forest floor on the nose, and colour in line with that. Black cherry jam and brambles. Violet and rose. Tannins melted away and acid nice and high. But perhaps this is past its best?

Sicilian wine unknown to me. Two-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Clear wine; crimson from bowl to rim. Interesting savory nose of fines herbs, licorice, tobacco and ash. In the mouth: wine was smooth and elegant. Multi-layered palate of licorice, cherries, coffee and ginger. Tannins were round but not dissipated. Long lovely finish of pepper, anise and more ginger. Outstanding with herb-flavored grilled meats.
