  May 5, 2019 - My first Nerello Mascalese. A nice fragrant nose of cherry compote, white pepper and spice. Light/Medium bodied. Flavours of red cherry (with a slight sour note), some iron/ferrous notes, earthy tones, with spice lingering on the finish. Acidity slightly poking out, with firm/drying tannins on the finish. Finishes just a tad short. On the second day, the wine felt a bit more balanced with the tannin less obtrusive and felt like the wine filled out a bit more. A good dinner wine. I'll revisit in ~5 years.
