Went to a tasting and tried the 2011 again. Deep ruby with aromas of red and blue fruits with spicy notes. The palate shows raspberries and blueberries, dark plum with a touch of pepper spice. Made with 100% Nero d’Avola grapes, the wine was full body, had nice acidity with structured tannins. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak. The finish shows oak flavors with bits of cocoa and smoke on the lingering finish. Tasting Sample.

Great for the price. Dark fruits blended with herbs, spices, chocolate and earth while retaining a freshness and intensity.

Feb 22nd, 20152011 vintage which is just now starting to come around. Pretty dark and black in the front, with a lot of purple fruit and resolving tannin and a hint of herb. Rather enjoyable tonight. Previous bottles of this wine seemed to have more of a tobacco note. This one seemed much more happy-go-lucky ...... 2 hours after it was opened!

On the more expensive side for ND, but still very good. Smoky, blackberry.
