Jeepers creepers! This wine didn't age that well. It's like an overripe plum; you can split it into threads. Decaying is real, boys, and it's so lonely on a limb. Imagine a black currant marmalade candy covered in sugar made by Roshen. Mix it with this rotting plum, and add some chocolate and medicinal herbs. It's a cocktail of 10-year-old Bordeaux and Nero d'Avola from Pachino. Ripe and powerful, yet as friendly as Die Hard on a Christmas holiday evening. Over time it gets too polished and boring.
Amazing wine and not typical for Sicily, which kind of makes sense having in mind that it originates from Lipari (Aeoilian Islands) and is made from Corinto blended with Nero d'Avola. Elegant and ripe bouquet: cherry, plum, spices, medicinal herbs, musk. Juicy, almost perfectly balanced with velvety texture. Quaffable to the treacherous point, where bottle ends in no time.
