| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by axis.gb on 12/17/2023: Ce nerello mascalese exhibe une robe grenat modérément profonde. Aussi bien au nez qu’en bouche, il dégage de jolies flaveurs d’amande, de pain grillé, de prune noir, de figue et de cassis. En bouche, les saveurs de ce nectar volcanique composent une symphonie gustative harmonieuse et inspirée. Équilibré, complexe, concentré et doté d’une finale s’étirant sur de nombreuses et délicieuses caudalies, ce vin raconte une belle histoire. Je suis tout ouïe.

The fruit was syrupy and while the structure was somewhat tight it didn’t seem to fit with the fruit. I don’t know. I seem to find this a lot with Etna reds though I’m still unable to articulate it. (702 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 5/23/2023: Mount Etna (Hinchcliff house, Young Street): Low intensity aromas show a little sour red fruit, a touch of minerality, spice. Juicy acidity, fleshy, plenty of textured burr, simple, slight non-intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish. Okay. (932 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 4/11/2023: Similar flavour profile to the Pietradolce with its pretty strawberry fruit, but this had a much firmer backbone of tannin. (799 views) | | | Tasted by FraserMacmillen on 3/3/2023 & rated 89 points: Pale bright red
On nose, green pepper and fruit
On taste, wonderfully quaffable, maybe pencil shavings, like a good Pinot, but probably cheaper. We didn't want it to end which is always a good sign.
Overall we liked this. Would like to compare with other Nerollo Mascalese. (661 views) | | | Tasted by Barolo Raymond on 2/2/2023 & rated 90 points: P&P. Light ruby, slow moving tears (curtain) @14.5% abv. Aromas reminiscent of cherry, cranberry, earth, dried leaves. Dry, medium(+)-high acidity, medium tannins, medium(+) alcohol and body. Scintillating palate of red cherry, cranberry, kirsch, mineral, earth notes, and milk chocolate. Very good length with tight savory, finish leaving a "Sichuan-pepper"-like sensation.
A excellent display of the sensational varietal Nerello Mascalese at its youth. (702 views) | | | Tasted by devnoon on 1/10/2023 & rated 87 points: Like an extreme version of a young nebbiolo. Very dry and yappy tannins with bright red fruit acidity. Some interesting funk as others have noted. Wish I had with a better food pairing, not exactly sure what would be perfect for it. Interesting wine, won't be rushing back to it for sipping's sake, but nothing against it. (446 views) | | | Tasted by wineshlub on 12/15/2022 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Spicy aroma of black fruit with a little strawberry. Rich but slightly tart flavors of cherry and minerals. Tingly finish. Young, delicious, vibrant. Still a few rough edges but already compelling. Classic Etna rosso, decent price. (582 views) | | | Tasted by Al Ehrhardt on 11/17/2022: Strawberries, raspberries, and more cranberries and pomegranates. Violets, roses. Bright and zippy. Still drank great on day 2. Really enjoyed this. (407 views) | | | Tasted by BrentsMom on 11/2/2022 & rated 90 points: Agree with other reviewers… initial aromas - organic / barnyard on opening, but goes away quickly (maybe too quickly as now I thin that is part of what makes this wine so interesting
Light tannins, and slight smokiness… can’t place the fruit, but there definitely is some
Very interesting wine (317 views) | | | Tasted by Richard123 on 9/25/2022 & rated 91 points: A lot of organic/barnyard on opening, but with 30 mins of air it became much more balanced and expressive. Relatively light tannin, but lots of fruit and minerality. (339 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 8/4/2022: Very interesting smell of barnyard and salt. Les notes that its pretty fantastic. And I agree. This is super interesting on the nose. Good tight structure to the back end. (484 views) |
