Tar, smoke and ecliptics in the nose, some salinity and drinks like the Mediterranean smells.

Have been a fan of this Sicilian bottling for well over a decade. Great to taste the 2009 today.

Hate to be a hater, but this one fell flat. Probably my top 3 producer on the island. Perhaps the a bit past it's prime from a non stellar vintage -2009 - and too much time stored upright. Had a great earthy nose with dark red fruits but the palette was just flat, overbearing acid, essentially absent tannins, and overly tart red fruits. I will give the 2011 a try soon.
