Community Tasting Note

rmalloy Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 30, 2020 - This wine hits the mouth with a bang of cheerful, delicious red berry fruit. It turns me off immediately. I like brooding, serious wines. I'm reminded of a line from the Mary Tyler Moore Show: "You know what? You've got spunk! ... I hate spunk!"

But by no means does this wine lack complexity. The wine's gamey aromas are as strong as you'd find in mourvèdre, and the wine is well seasoned with cinnamon, sage, and ash. I also notice sliced peach in the taste profile.

The wine's mouthfeel is unique. At first, it seems lightweight, but after you swallow, you realize the tannins are mouth-puckering and the acidity is intense. The finish is remarkably strong and leaves no room for doubt that this is a serious wine.

The more I drink this wine, the more profound it seems. Wow! I really like this Sicilian producer. Gulfi, a name to remember.

I have no reason to believe this won't age well, but I also have no reason to recommend waiting to drink it.
