The first time I had this wine was a 2014, and it blew my mind!. Since that wine the 2015 and 2016 have been less of that experience. Ripeness seems to be a little out of balance. Good potential so will go back to a 14 and see where these go! Anyone else have experience with this rare Sicilian?

Too funkadelic to drink when first opened. Aired off significantly with time (days). Cherries emerged.

One of the better Etna's I have had outside the usual suspects on the mountain in a while...dense and layered, energetic and perfumed.

Cherry and earth. Very pure and wild wine.

Incredible. Small batch production on Etna - 3000 bottles annually - this bottle at CaveOx was an inspiration of volcanic cherry rocky tannic terroir. Delicious.

Overall a solid wine but doesn't blow me away in the manner that other Etna Rosso wines have. I would happily continue to buy at $25 but there are better wines from those slopes for $40.
