Arianna steered me back here as if I'd never had the wine before.

The nose is quiet, withdrawn. Shrimp shell and dried cherry and rosemary-- very 21st century Scandinavian.
Compact and dense in the mouth, with a bridge's substructure of elaborate acidity. More subtlety: yeast and tide pool, return of cherry. Sits and radiates.

Maldafrica Terre Siciliane Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2010

LM Segal

9.4

'10. Maldafrica was inspired by an early '80s visit by COS cofounder to Haut-Brion. A truly different 50-50 Cab-Merlot with the house style that crosses elegance with a good kind of rusticity. Giusto Occhipinti (above) was also a phenomenal host and the best kind of Bon Vivant. Seek him out, as the COS story is as inspirational as this very, very yummy and distinctive wine. Like Gulfi, making Sicily among the hotbeds of cool new wines in Europe. COS winemaker's tasting @noragrey. Kudos to Theo and Oenopole! — 11 years ago
