!00% Nerello Mascalese, Single Contrada from a favorite Sicilian Producer. This isn’t the typical lighter, easy drinking Nerello. This has body, weight and complexity. Darker fruit: black cherry, blackberry,raspberry, smoke, with tannins and acidity. Definitely capable of aging but I have a hard time time not drinking them! — 6 months ago
Big, bold Nerello Mascalese. Probably needs more time but I was anxious to try it. This is Nerello on steroids. Big, complex and so good. — 2 years ago
It's austere, but that's why you bought a taurasi. Dried flowers, boysenberries, raspberries. Almost like an amarone. Well made; I think average score a tad low. Better than the 2016. — 2 years ago
First sips were disappointing in the brevity of the hit on the palate. Gave it an hour and it lengthened beautifully. This wine has a ton of fruit (crushed sweet red berries), velvety tannins, and great structure. I would be fascinated to see what 10+ years does to it — 3 years ago

Deep ruby in color; black plums, blackberries, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry jam and prunes with a long finish. Leslie, Jason, Dante, Nellie, and I like it. — a month ago
