Etna: Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with Bing cherry, Asian five spice, porchini, oregano, crushed gravel and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Another stunner from this incredible, own-rooted parcel in the Calderara Sottana contrada featuring vines over 140 years old. Insane. Drink now with some air and through 2041. — a day ago

Hard to distinguish from a Pinot Noir. Maybe a little earthier. Leather, cassis, pomegranate, hint of tar. — a month ago

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。 — 4 months ago

Very nice. This wine is all mineral. Light citrus fruits, but what I notice is that volcanic soil. Mild reductive notes. High acid. Good length. — 6 months ago

Nice Cabernet and showing some good development w/ only 5 yrs in bottle. Better things still ahead. Plus a point or two in another 7-8 yrs.

Really enjoyed this one. Took a bit to open up, but worth the wait. Burgandy-like but with less restraint and that lovely volcanic earth. Would definitely buy again. — 2 months ago

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. — 6 months ago

from the slopes of Sicily’s Mt Etna. Fruity, flavorful, balanced, and well structured, with a long lasting finish. Excellent with tonight’s roasted Halibut. — 3 months ago
