Freakin’ delicious! Inky iodine so much depth and tannin was perfect with the Sicilian braised lamb with fava beans

Pretty tannic should last. 14%. I prefer this over the 2020. Lots of cherry mostly… seems spicy.

Nice bouquet plums. 13.5%. Tons of fruit. A lot of acid and tannins. Very raspberry. Good but i am just not sure how this will age. Seems like a designer wine to me.

クローブ、ホワイトペッパー、ナツメグのような香りが主体。
口に含むと、透明感を維持しながら、それらの香りが口一杯に広がる。
少し時間が経つと紫蘇ジュースっぽさ。

From Max Kogod. Tastes almost like a a burgundy. Plum components blackberries and mostly pomegranate. Very sturdy and great even after 18h! in an open glass. Earthy top notch tannins extremely well made. This will last for a long time 10 years+. Pricy 60$.

Salvo (and Simone) Foti's flagship red - Nerello Mascalese/Capuccio, and Alicante (Sicilian for Grenache), and rare varietal Francisis - all from a single vineyard with 100+ year old vines - this wine is still a baby but is already showing enticing red fruits, spice, and a little bit of lava funk that I think will shine through when I revisit around 2020. Thanks Simone!
