Munjebel CS (Chiusa Spagnolo) Nerello Mascalese 2020

Excellent Etna. So fun exploring a region and its different producers. This had more dark chocolate smokiness than Russo. Both excellent examples — 6 months ago

Patriarch Winston Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Probably WOTN although I think the Abreu is a better wine. This one just went better with the food as opposed to the Abreu which should have been decanted and had on its own. — 6 months ago

MAGMA Etna Nerello Mascalese

From 110 year old ungrafted vines. Extremely elegant and soft despite the 15.5 alcohol. Medium body, concentrated black and red fruit, high minerality and salty. Beautiful nose and long burn. Absolutely delicious, Burgundian. — 7 months ago

This is the winery’s only bottling for which the fruits are sourced, yet it’s still really well made.
Fragrant and lithe, this is quite feminine. Deft use of oak. Tremendously enjoyable just like the previous vintages I’ve tasted.

9.1

Beautiful noses that shows a dark core, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, black plum skin and raspberries on the glass edges, dark, dryish earth, sandalwood, river stone, red flowers/roses, framed in bright, brilliant violets.

Beautiful fruit entry with dry, soft tannins. Dryish; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum skin, dark cherries and hints of raspberries. Dark, dry earth, sandalwood, river stone, dark spice, cedar, dry twigs, dry top soil, some dry herbs, dry clay, minimal baking spices, cigar with ash, dark flowers, red flowers/roses, framed in bright, brilliant violets. The acidity is gentle and nice. The finish is 19 elegant & pleasant, mid structured, smartly polished and lasts a full minute.

It has evolved some but still shows as primary. 91+ with some more appropriate cellaring.

Munjebel MC (Monte Colla) Nerello Mascalese 2020

Probably the most structured and darkest munjebel due to the higher clay content of the soil. Missing some acidity, dark red fruit, spices and earthy tones. A bit flabby and heady. Missing the grip of the other munjebels. — 7 months ago

Munjebel Terre Siciliane Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2019

火山性土壌らしい火薬の香り、赤系の小さな果実やトマトっぽさ、クリスプな酸味。酵母っぽいニュアンス。
最後の2杯分くらいは、かなりいい甘さが出てた。
合鴨を合わせたが合わない。どんな料理が合わせたら良いのか…
ハード系のパンにはあったので、タコとトマトのブルスケッタとかには合いそう。

良いワインだと思うが、万人が理解できる分かりやすいワインだとは思えない。
