Nose of black cherry and pine straw. On the palate the flavors are the same, with great depth, structure, and length. This has a gravity that goes beyond most any Etna Rosso I’ve tasted. Phenomenal, and has years if not decades ahead of it...

Quite boozy at 15.5 though it doesn't show it. Concentrated with litheness.

Very earthy and tannic with brilliant red fruit. Oh and that Etna smokiness!

Substantial but not thick. Extremely clean sweet cherry. Is a unique liberality underneath but is mostly consumed by the fruit. Underlying tannins. Hopefully my other two will age nicely.
