Flight 2 (6 Notes)

2014 Girolamo Russo Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo 93 Points

Italy, Sicily, Etna DOC

Tasted blind. Stewed red cherry, dark red cherry, rhubarb and strawberry. Medium acid and quite lifted but dense at the same time. Hint of bitterness that is the only thing that’s out of place. 93-94

2013 Passopisciaro Passorosso 94 Points

Italy, Sicily, Terre Siciliane

Tasted blind. Similar nose to the 2017 Russo San Lorenzo. But richer, sweeter, more tannix, more closed. Fuller but not as elegant as the 17 Russo. Exuberant young fruit. Looking really good. 94

2014 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso PrePhylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino 93 Points

Italy, Sicily, Etna DOC

Tasted blind. Smells great - fresh and vibrant. Quite sweet and I'm getting vanilla oak, oak tannin and dark cherry and chocolate. Big wine. 140+ year old vines but I wish they'd dial it back. 93

2018 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Prephylloxera "La Vigna di Don Peppino" Calderara Sottana 93 Points

Italy, Sicily, Etna DOC

Tasted blind. Fennel nose. Clean cherry, nice weight. Salty. Some cola. A bit ripe perhaps. It all made sense when I saw it was another Don Peppino. 93-94
