Probably the most structured and darkest munjebel due to the higher clay content of the soil. Missing some acidity, dark red fruit, spices and earthy tones. A bit flabby and heady. Missing the grip of the other munjebels.

Seemingly faded & too "pickle juicy " at first, but after an hour, much better balance and depth. Not for everybody, but with strong-flavored food very pleasing.

Lots of dark fruit rather than red, particularly relative to his other wines. Tons of tannins.

Purely feminine. The best expression I've seen of this producer. Stunning.

Ripe cherry and strawberry fruit is rounded out by those wild, charred beef notes Cornelissen's oddball Sicilian wines are known for. Tasty and very distinctive!
