Opened and left in the bottle to breathe for an hour. In a blind tasting it could hold its own against a lot of Bordeaux. Very strong coffee scent, with tobacco, cedar and black berries. Excellent quality/price ratio (paid 35€).
If anyone has bottles of this vintage at home I suggest to drink it now, seeing the color and the amount of sediment I do not think it can last much longer.

wow this is big!! wonderful Nero d'Avola and Perricone perfectly drinking now in its best drinking window. Powerful nose breathing ripe dark fruit and perfectly consistent palate, with plums marmalade and red cherries couples with some spices. Time and cellaring have added some tertiary scents ranging from underbrush and graphite.This is a benchmark for top class Nero d'Avola. In a fresh evening @La thuile, under the Alps.

Wow. You know when you have a wine and then you immediately hit wine-searcher to see where you can get more? This was one of those bottles. One of my new favorite Sicilian wines and I'm on the look out. Well balanced a lot of dark red fruit, but then a astonishing cherry hit, very distinctive, in the first couple of tastes. Drinking well now, but this will last a long time.

Quite a strong fruit presence despite its age, mainly black fruits. Med-heavy body
