Alcoholic and acidic, very savory with sour cherries. Long finish and I’m not sure I’m a huge fan.

Rounded plum and hints of blackberry on the nose leads to an evolving-by-the-moment palate that softens and deepens with every sip. It grows on you like a newly-favorite song, revealing better thing by the moment. CANNOT recommend this enough.

Smoke, tobacco, spice, red fruit, cabinet. Pretty decent stuff. Certainly Etna is hot right now and it's understandable why.
