Mille e Una Notte Contessa Entellina Nero d'Avola 2022

This youngster just needs patience. Fruit structure it’s all there. The tannins dominate a bit too much however. This will be stunning in the future. — 2 months ago

Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore Carricante 2015

このワインを飲むのは2回目で最後の一本。

半年ほど前に飲んだ個体に比べて、こっちの方が明らかにフレッシュで熟成感が少ない。
前回同様に、黄桃や枇杷のような黄色果実に、カモミール、ペトロール、ライムストーン、ホワイトペッパーなどの後に、岩清水、レモンなどの爽やかな清涼感と芯のある骨格。

一本目が熟成感が強かっただけに、心配したが、こちらの方が美味しくて良かった。

Vigne Marina Coppi

Fausto Timorasso 2021

Outstanding. Waxy, deep, and long. So much texture and stuffing. Hard to believe this doesn’t see any oak. Whispering sweet everythings to my palate. — 10 months ago

Serra della Contessa Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2012

Served blind . Arrogantly said after a quick smell & taste, Burgundy from 2018 , high quality village wine. WRONG! Beautiful flavors of cherry, earth and mineral. Pepper red fruits, herbs and mouthwatering acid attacked my palate. Still has structure to endure for years. — 4 months ago
