So much treacle tart to this red but then tons of florals such as jasmine, violets and then mulberries and hints of vanilla. Full body and a remarkably juicy and tangy center palate of forest fruits, which are ripe but run clean thanks to no shortage of refreshing acidity. Long and fruit-forward yet somehow minerally on the finish. A triumph! Perhaps the best nero d'avola blend ever made. Delicious now. [Drink: 2024-2030+] Score - 96.

Sicilian depth comes through in ripe blackberry, cherry, pomegranate and plum, layered with smoke, tobacco, leather, licorice and pepper. This red blend is bold and dry, with firm tannins, lively acidity and a volcanic, earthy edge. The finish brings dark fruit, spice and a touch of cocoa.

Aromas of red cherries, sliced strawberries and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with subtle concentration that expresses an array of fresh black and red berries across the palate. Silky tannins. Fresh. Drink or hold. Score - 94. (jamessuckling.com, Sept. 6, 2022)

Fragrant and refined, this offers enticing scents of woodland berries, rose petal, Mediterranean herbs and dark spice. Polished and delicious, the smooth, focused palate delivers juicy red cherry, white pepper and star anise alongside taut, smooth tannins and fresh acidity. Score - 95.
