Holiday to Etna, Sicily, October 2014; 10/26/2014-11/1/2014: After drinking the 2011 last night, I saw this 2009 on the Shelf and had to try it. It has much of the same smoky savoury fruit, with all the edges smoothed out, you can see it's starting to brick when you pour it, it still has fair acidity and definitely is developing but I'm not sure if this vintage has as much structure as the 2011, maybe I'll find the 2010 tomorrow to see if that is in the sweet spot ? Still, delicious drinking, but drink this one up (I think)
