Similar to the notes I posted 172 weeks ago - still the same earthy savoury cherry but now a bit more smelly cow yard. Dirt and dried plum. This winery we visited a few years ago and is on the favoured northern slopes of Mount Etna.

Ripe, checking in at 14.5%, but not hot. Tannins firm but smooth. Cherries and dusty earth, violets. Elegant

Strangely Burgundian. Gorgeous. Enjoyed at Tavernetta, Denver.

Once again I fell in the pinot noir from Burgundy trap when blind tasting this wine. Balanced with fine barrel touch, already excellent.

I love this wine. Light body but just the right amount of grip. Earthy, mineral. Cherry/cranberry juice. Snappy acidity.

Spine of volcanic rocks, lots of nerve and tension across the palate. High acid and taut tannin balanced, like walking a tightrope. “Laser-like.” Smoke, crunchy red fruit, dried beef, fennel and saffron, savory herbs.

Really nice wild black cherry fruit with spice - probably opened this too early - big tannic grip

Lovely with bright red fruits and arresting minerality.
