87 - Wine Enthusiast Review: "This early-drinking Nero d'Avola opens with ripe black-skinned fruit, tilled soil and cooking spice aromas. Straightforward and savory, it delivers black cherry, blackberry and ground pepper flavors alongside round tannins."

My review: Not bad. Floral, fruity, and spicy aromas, with faint notes of red berries, lilies, and pepper. Bold tannins. This dry red leaves a tart aftertaste. Maybe it's because of my stuffy nose, but there was nothing really memorable about this wine for me. Just tasted like a typical red.

I tasted this wine without food.
