  December 22, 2013 - Ik was altijd enthousiast over de combinatie Nero d"Avola- Frapato, maar de wijn is behoorlijk achteruit gegaan, heeft weinig fruit en is over ontwikkeld. Ook mis ik het kruidige dat de Frappato zo kenmerkt in deze wijn. Nog wel goed te drinken, maar enigszins vlak. Ik heb nog twee flessen staan, niet te lang meer wachten met opdrinken.

  August 24, 2013 - Don't regularly drink much wine from Sicily so did not really know what to expect. Laid back nose with some nice red fruit and you could almost smell Mount Etna, a bit like wet stones.
  Round and silky mouthfeel and I think the tannins have left this wine a few years ago. Again some red fruit and minerality. I seared up a nice piece of beef and served it with a homemade dried-mushroom creamy sauce. Great dish, nice wine but most def not a match made in heaven.

  October 27, 2011 - Didn't buy for full $20 but it'd be worth it. For Nero it's light but really nice; Italian perfume, cherry, a little dry, long finish. Just excellent. Great gift for $20.
