Rich and opulent, red & black fruits, kind of fleshy but really focused too w/med+ acidity; chocolate too; hard to put down. 70 Merlot 30 cab franc. At $36 from garagiste: a steal. — 5 months ago

Tonight we are enjoying some wine from the island of Sicily. A 2012 Puritani Etna Rosso from Azienda Valenti Vini 🍷 The #nerellomascalese grapes from this bottle were planted in 2004. As a literature lover I must share th story behind the bottle's name: 'The father-son team of Giovanni and Alessandro Valenti have embarked upon
the journey to produce the very best
wines from their homeland of Mount Etna
in Sicily. Being avid lovers of literature and
music, the names of their wines reflect
this passion. Enrico IV, Henry IV (Enrico
IV) is an Italian play by Luigi Pirandello;
Puritani – I puritani (The Puritans) is an
opera in three acts by Vincenzo Bellini;
Norma is an opera in two acts by
Vincenzo Bellini. Poesia is Poetry in Italian.' Cheers to Italy! 🇮🇹 — 4 years ago

Essentially a Bordeaux expression of Malbec. Cassis, dry blackberries. The mid palate is dry- not a bad thing, just wonder if this needs to be a Malbec. — 3 years ago

Dirty and dark brick in color with a brick/ reddish rim.

Pronounced nose of blueberries, black cherries, black currants, oak, vegetables, cloves, spices, earth, wet rocks, leather and black pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, bell pepper, oak, spice box, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, vinaigrette, cinnamon, earth, wet leaves, beef jerky and peppercorn.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Malbec Blend from Argentina is still drinking nicely as a 14 year old, but better drink it sooner than later.

Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant. Feels like an old world wine at this point.

Wine Advocate 93 points.

Good after 30 minutes of airtime. A good wine to have all by itself and discuss with friends.

A blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. These old vine grapes were grown at 2,700 feet of elevation, and aged in 100% New French oak barrels.

Had conjointly with a Poesia Malbec, so Interesting to contrast Malbecs made in different hemispheres- this had the juicier mid palate compared to the Mendoza expression-at 12% absolutely charming. Crushed red fruits, bay leaf. — 3 years ago

Rich and concentrated fruits are available in abundance here. intense flavors of blackberries and plums are present throughout along with clover spices. Fairly acidic, but I think it needs it to keep the structure tight.  — 4 years ago

Color a zumo de anona y maracuyá, muy suave al paladar pero bien compensado porque no es muy dulce. Aroma de frutas discreto. Deja un sabor a uva con manzanas extremadamente agradable. Ideal para un capellini con piñones y espinacas.😋 — 6 years ago
