This wine is made of 100% Nero D'Avola, a varietal unique to Sicily. It is highly recommended by several wine critics (one of the being Robert Parker), and I thought I would give it a try ($15.99 at local store).A deep ruby red color in the glass gives me a hint that this is going to be a wine concentrated in fruit. On the nose, dried, dark cherries with spice. It is overwhelmingly powerful in the fruit and I am not to excited about tasting it. It is equally super, overly, powerful on the palate with dark cherry and raisin, and an almost sherry-like quality. This is not my style of wine at all...
This is the first time for me tasting this grape and I am not quite sure if I missed a flaw in this specific bottle or if it is just not something I would enjoy. I suspect the later...
Can not recommend it at all. I took a couple of sips and then the whole bottle went down the drain...
I would love to hear your comments on this wine! Give me your opinion!
