Currant jelly, cherry, mint, and spice bouquet. Palate is less fruity but still driven by the currants, earthy minerality with medium + tannin and fresh acidity. This is volcanic #mt.etna

Easy drinking Etna with medium bodied red fruits leading into a dry finish with finely gritty tannin. Impressive for $20.

Very pleasant. Easy drinking plenty of flavour if perhaps not much finesse.
