Blackberry, wet humus, olive, crushed rose petals. It's fun to taste wines that sorta act like a Pinot, but wield some pretty fruit/earth/spice balance in different ways, and with sneaky tannins. Damn, son. This is nice.

Kind of unpleasant when I first opened it, but the next day it softened and the nose turned more dusty clay and floral

Hard candy, underlying earthy note. Classy and balanced, medium weight. Good price for this quality ($21).

Nerello from Sicily you say? Drinks more like a nice village Burgundy. At sub $20 - total score!
