It never dies haha. Blueberry and cherry jam, prune, chocolate, old leather, tobacco, vanilla, oak. Mature tannins, round structure, pleasantly long finish. Somehow it feels so much younger than it is - thanks to really nice acidity and overall... fruitiness!

About

Nerojbleo is 100% Nero d'Avola from different vineyards in the countryside of Chiaramonte Gulfi and Ragoleti (Ragusa province, just like the famous city of Vittoria). The grape is named after Avola, a small town near Pachino in the province of Siracusa (near Ragusa). Fruits are fermented with long maceration on their skins. The wine is aged in barriques and tonneaux of French oak (225L and 500L) for 12 months.

This Nerojbleo is in good age and shape. A charming bouquet of blueberry and cherry jam, prune, chocolate, old leather, tobacco, vanilla and oak. Aye, it has more residual sugar than I would love it to have. But it's well-balanced with mature tannin, round structure and pleasantly long aftertaste. Nice bottle. Shame it's the last one in my possession.

Oh my, what a bottle. It's lovely to see how Nero d'Avola matures into perfectly balanced, silky yet strong wine. Lots of dried fruits, jam, white pepper, hints of underbrush. Warm sensation and very long finish. I have to admit for the second time - definitely my wine.

Not overly complex, but thanks to the age (11 years) it become more round, balanced, and silky. Though it still has potential. It is still fruity, but fruits has dried. Long finish. Great tannins. Gulped (or should I say gulfed?) whole bottle! Definitely my type of wine.
