Community Tasting Note

  April 18, 2015 - This is much more gutsy than my previous experience of Etna from Terre Nere where I noted "quasi-Burgundian elegance". Colour quite deep but less black than some Sicilians. Nose was rather shy with dark fruit and an iron streaked earthy touch. The palate was more savoury than sweet, medium/full bodied with dark fruit, more plum than cherry, fresh iron tinged acidity, earthy minerals and a quite strong tannic backbone with liquorice hints. There was a slight opening of aromas and smoothing of texture as the bottle progressed. I have no experience how Etna behaves with age but think that this might benefit with some more and with decanting in its present state. Good.
