5/15/2024 - weezie Likes this wine: 93 pointsSaline, citrus notes wothjist enough body and balance to pair well with a variety of food. Certainly with seafood and seafood pasta dishes. But solid enough to stand on its own without food. At this price, itcoukdhe a daily drinker, especially in the summer months. Great QPR! |

4/23/2024 - zollyfresh Likes this wine: 91 pointsEarth and reduction on the nose. Red fruit, light to medium bodied. Reduction fades and fruit comes to the forefront as it opens up. Really tasty. Great value. Good acid. Great everyday drinker that’s a step above the rest. |

4/15/2024 - Eric_Lavoie Likes this wine: 94 pointsSimply amazing. The age here has done wonders for the development of this wine. The saline, mineral-driven characteristics of the Carricante are now moving towards a slightly oxidative, smokey, and petrol-like flavor. The length here is noteworthy, and there is plenty of depth and complexity to fascinate over with every sip. |

4/7/2024 - CWilliam wrote: 91 pointsLast of ~ 6 bottles acquired in '17 and '18. Light red color. On nose, iron, tart cherry, strawberry and touch of tobacco. Palate was similar flavor profile ex. iron. Medium body, medium+ acidity, low tannins and nice long finish. Better than last bottle I had ~ 6 months ago (didn't take notes). 91+/- this go around. |

4/7/2024 - LW31 Likes this wine: NRThis started quite lean and a bit faint but with some air and warming it became more classic in profile with more of that saline minerality showing. I would have expected something more fuller and oxidative considering age but it seems to be slimming down as it ages. Best drink soonish |

4/7/2024 - Miccog Likes this wine: 91 pointsEtna's volcanic power oozes from the glass along with red fruit and tar. Earthy, smoky, and more spicy than many other Nerello Mascaleses. Deliciously well-balanced acidity and velvety tannins. I really have a soft spot for these wines. |

3/16/2024 - ethanwade Likes this wine: NRMy unrivaled match for linguine vongole. Pithy lemon, green apple, light stone fruit, powerful stony/mineral notes and a bit of reduction. Long finish with strong mineral and saline notes with a hint of menthol. Worth drinking now. |

Intensive Nase, sehr kräuterig, Blutorangen, Granatapfel, zitrische Noten, Trockenkräuter. Im Gaumen sehr frisch, würzig, ein Archetyp eines Nerello Mascalese, die delikate Frucht wird von feinkörnigen Tannin umgarnt, die Säure ist sehr gut dosiert, im Abgang rotfruchtig, kräuterwürzig, mit Blutorangen und balsamischen Noten im, lang. |

2/26/2024 - Dan Hausrath wrote: 89 pointsPale garnet color in the glass with nose of stewed plum, prune, and black cherry. Fresh acidity, with full body and fairly intense dusty tannins. Fairly concentrated flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, and apricot. More dark fruit character than I was expecting and maybe a slightly poxed bottle but I really enjoyed it over all. |
