This wine, as always, delivers. Thirteen years in and it barely shows its age - the acidity and fruit are still very much alive. But there's enough development to know this isn't some young thing: red fruit jam meets earth and spice, with an unexpected touch of dill weaving through liquorice. Balance is spot-on, acid still singing, tannins gone all rounded and jammy. Old friend energy.

Oh, this is gorgeous drinking now. Fourteen years in and it's hit that perfect sweet spot. Red fruit jam meets earth and spice, with this unexpected touch of dill weaving through liquorice. The balance is spot-on - acid still singing, tannins gone all rounded and jammy, like they've finally learned to relax. This is what patience rewards you with - Nero d'Avola that's stopped shouting and started conversing. Proper delicious stuff.

The NeroBaronj from Gulfi, now at 13 years old, continues to showcase the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of its maker, reaffirming Gulfi's reputation as a producer deserving of attention. Remarkably, despite its age, this wine retains a vibrant fruitiness and freshness, complemented by refined aromas of tapenade, wet earth, VA, and smoke, which add depth and complexity to its profile. Even with minimal aeration, this wine unfolds its charm, offering a well-balanced, delicious experience. It possesses a long, flavourful, and complex finish, underlining its quality.
