At first, nose is airtight but there’s a faint hint of liquer perfume. Palate is bright and tart, with only a hint of tannin, but a bit simple. After 24 hours, this comes alive. Nose is black currant and cherry cordial with ineffable herbs... papalo(?), mugwort (?!). There’s a sultry earthy quality hiding under the prettiest fruits.
Very atypical for a Nero D’Avola. This is brighter and more lifted. Not over-ripe or over-extracted by any means, but there’s plenty of concentration. Really elegant.
