Dreamy is the word that comes to mind as the 2018 Vigna la Miccia Marsala Superiore Oro wafts up with a decadent blend of roasted almonds and hazelnuts, complicated by gingery spice and baked peaches. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and oily textures that are perfectly offset by notes of spiced citrus, cloves, cedar and a bitter tinge of coffee grounds. It cleans up beautifully, ridiculously long and staining yet still fresh, leaving hints of cocoa and butterscotch to linger on the finish. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

If one person in the relationship likes salinity and minerality and reads The New Yorker. And the other likes perfumey but still dry whites and reads The Economist. Well this is your wine. Cloudy/unfined. Unripe peach, honeysuckle, and salt. — 3 months ago

Color is bricking but the wine is still vigorous. Loads of dried and macerated cherry, along with intense savory notes veering into iodine. Loads of rich library furniture scents too. In the mouth it’s got a good initial whack of dark cherry and gravelly earth. Soft tannins coat the mouth as the flavors molt into earthy, leathery notes in the finish. Peaking now, it’s a complex, balanced CCR. — 4 months ago

Herbs, floral notes, and stone fruit fill the nose. The pallet is also really nice with all on the nose plus some green apple and lemon notes more complex than I was expecting. This is definitely the perfect wine for a variety of foods. Lovely wine — a month ago
