The 2015 Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie is simply stunning, erupting from the glass with a burst of crushed black cherries, cloves, blood orange and hints of dusty earth. This is soft-textured, nearly fleshy in feel, with a core of tart red berry fruits offset by sour citrus as rosy inner florals form toward the close. It finishes with staining length and concentration, just lightly structured, leaving a sensation of hard red candies to fade. This is a vibrant vintage of Vigne Vecchie, but it possesses the balance for further evolution. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

It was drinkable, just not sure what it was that seemed off and overly tart almost bitter. On second thought it probably had more to do with the food I was having with it. Nonetheless that’s my impression 😁 — 2 months ago

Beautiful nose and medium plus in body.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper, vanilla and spices.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a good quality wine with nice complexity and balance. Spicy and tangy. Very tasty.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

Tastes like cola. Very high cherry taste, I like the wines to be younger but still hanky a case left. — 6 months ago

9.2

Medicinal nose, with hints rose petal, balsamic, fresh plum, and blackberry on a medium body. The palate is medium bodied, almost lighter, with the age not really showing, but a zippy acidity, with sandpaper dry tannins, but light sandpaper. — a month ago
