Lovely transparent brownish purple ruby ish color. Rich cherries, red plums. The transparent color made me expect the acidity of a nebbiolo (this is my first Nero d'avola) so was surprised to find an almost velvet palate. The richness continues on the palate. Maybe some black tea, coffee, tobacco notes underneath the fruit. Medium body. Medium fine grained (I'm guessing this is what people mean by fine grained) tannins. Every bit of the 13.5% abv. Long finish. Very cohesive. Very nice.

Red and black cherries, some floral (violets), herbs / medicinal, ash. Well balanced and bright with nice acidity on a medium body. At first I really enjoyed for its perfume, but towards the end some bitterness started to become too noticeable (perhaps the wine wasn’t cold enough?). Let’s see how the rest looks like tomorrow…

Medium plus nose shows licorice (that the 2020 does not have), dark red fruits, dried spice, Szechuan. Palate shows more expected profile, lovely style, med plus tannins and acidity, medium body. Nice QPR.

Medium body, well balanced; red fruit, light acid and tannin but enough to make it work well. Great for the price.
