Cata de vinos sicilianos, muy interesante, ligero pero con una muy buena personalidad, ligero y disfrutable.

2012 vintage. Really disappointing compared to prior bottles. This came across as very acidic and kind of shrill. Maybe because I drank w/o food, maybe bottle variation, maybe time/place. But disappointing nonetheless

2012 had lots of cinder-block, asphalt behind the dark fruit. I could use les alcohol here, but over-all a decent drink.

Delicious as always. Beautiful red fruit, great minerality, excellent acidity and the telltale hints of ash on the finish. Not crazy powerful or rich, just super enjoyable food wine...

Outstanding. A little bigger and more powerful than the 12 Guardiola. Rich dark fruit, long and complex -- super tasty, if a little more "international" than the G

Medium ruby with quite narrow terracotta , garnet rim. Cut herbs , raspberry, dried red cherry , dried rose , slightly smoky note and a basalt , stony hint. On the palate quite rounded and ripe with some red focused sweet sous bois , raspberry coulis and dried herbs , anis , dried herbs . Alcohol does stick out a bit with medium quite rounded sweet tannin , with just balanced acidity . Reasonable anis , black tea and dried herb finish . This is at the end of its drinking window but still showing quite well . Drink now , and I would recommend serving at a relatively cool temperature
