Perfect after 9 years in bottle. Burgundian dark cherry notes, muted tannins, smooth with no mustiness. I personally still prefer a touch of added cappuccio like my fave Terre Nere. — 2 years ago

Contrada Guardiola Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2020

Mesmerizing. Haunting characters of bramble berry, roses, lava rock, Asian spice, citrus and herbs wrapped around a fresh medium weight, lively acidity and fine tannin. Finishes on a sweet alcoholic note. — 9 months ago
