  September 12, 2018 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS #131; Italy, Sicily (by DJ): Red and dark berries in the bouquet. On the palate dark berries, sweet spices, herbs, laurel, ripe cherries, some mushrooms, good concentration and ripe tannin. Beautiful wine.

  May 22, 2017 - A very dark looking wine, a wine with intent.
  
  A sweet raspberry, black cherry and blackcurrant jam, plum and licquorice are the dominant aromas. It smells dark and mature, but sweet with high alcohol. Menthol, leather, leafy as well as peppery. Instantly providing evidence of age, quality and awesomeness.
  
  Full bodied, but not a butcher. High tannins, but well rounded. (steak material)
  Acidity is relatively high and much appreciated.
  Some sweetness in the fruit, mainly from the red fruit (raspberry and cherry) flavours. Blackcurrant with a savoury aspect, earthy, spicy and a long lively finish.
  
  The alcohol being 14% shows itself a little, although it should. It is what it is, a proud italian brute!
  
  This wine could easily age for another decade. It is intense and powerful, healthy ripe fruit, tannin and acidity all favour it.
  
  Excellent wine!

  October 14, 2013 - "2014" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/13/2013-10/18/2013 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {cork, 14%} Pungent liquorice and confected jam aromas. Fruity and rich and young. The medium/full-bodied palate is initially dense, rich and sweet with raisins and blackberries, helped by medium powdery tannins which then fade rather quickly. Evolves oddly on the palate; the fruit fades rather quickly but the astringency doesn’t; and with fairly low acidity it soon drops down to a medium-length finish that just seems a bit flabby. The wine doesn’t taste nearly as sweet as it smells, which is a good thing. Still, I wouldn’t be aging this for terribly long; another 3 years is easily enough.
