Frappato and Nero d'avola still a perfect marriage. But in this one the oak was overpowering and out of balance. Either the oak's to new or it needs some more time.

The nose is quiet, withdrawn.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.
