Frank Cornelissen
Munjebel VA (Vigne Alte) Nerello Mascalese
Sicily, Italy
Open for 16 days. And it still tastes like fresh Nerello. This is crazy juice. Say what you will about Frank Cornelissen, he definitely makes some compelling wines.

Nov 18th, 2021Same rating as the last bottle. Bursting with fruit and very mineral. Plenty of structure so needs a decent decant

2013. Beautiful, subtle. Volcanic minerality and high acidity with floral and dried cherry aromas. Underwhelming at first but grew in stature with air. $127 at dinner at Blanca, NY.
