Decent. At winery with Nicola (796 views) | | | Tasted by Vera Wind on 5/21/2021 & rated 88 points: First sip out of the bottle was very sour. Do decant.
After a few hours:
On the nose dried strawberries and sweet cherries, something floral like lilac and jasmin, violet. Wet stones, close to petrichor. Interesting.
On the palate rather full bodied, the acidity is more balanced after some air. Dark fruits; black cherries, blackberries, forest fruit.
Nice tanninstructure that leaves your mouth dry.
Perfect match with Pasta Norma. (749 views) | | | Tasted by Hampe on 5/21/2021 & rated 89 points: Medelintensivt röd färg. Doft av nypon, körsbär, jord, mineral, tobak och choklad. Frisk syra, nästan snipig, balanserade tanniner. Medelfylligt. Ett vin i min smak. Får Piemonte-vibbar. Efter ett par timmar i karaff kommer en viss pepprighet. Dag två kommer mörkare frukt, lite vanilj och rök.

Nose is full of maraschino cherries and sweet Christmas spices. Quite soft and a little sour&sweet sauce on the palate for Nerello Mascalese. But tell tale high acids with a bit of orange rind freshness and bitter in it. Medium+ body. very decent for what it is and for what it costs but if anything perhaps lacking a bit in complexity.

I would love to have tried this blind against other Etna reds, as on its own (particularly on day 1) I struggled to differentiate it from other quality Etna reds, in my admittedly limited experience.
This evolved and was enjoyable on days 1,2 and 3. On day 3 in particular it had a very pleasing cherry pastille note that was enjoyable to sip and savor on its own after dinner.

Palate was spicy more than fruity - balsamic and cedar. Tried with food later that evening and the next day, and though that helped smooth it out it seemed more a wine that I "should" like, not one I do like. This was my first Nero Mascalese, more for the rest of you! :-) (382 views) | | | Tasted by jimyeni on 6/9/2020 & rated 90 points: Enjoyed a different style of wine than I usually drink with some wine group peeps. Enjoyed the nice acidity through the middle and opened up over the course of a couple of hours. (507 views) |
