Now we are talking, amazing, dept and long aftertaste part of winemenu. — 8 years ago
A virtuosic wine, distinctive and too good, too serious and too ambitious. Just too much quality for most people. — 8 years ago
Light, citrussy. Delicious.

Like nothing I've ever had. Dry yet full bodied. Sparkling red. Who knew?! — 9 years ago
If this wine could talk it would tell stories and live a life like Hemingway. Old and classic, robust, hard around the edges, but with just enough finesse to make it timeless and classic. The lava rock really expresses the terroir of etna in here. — 9 years ago

Incredibly layered with notes of candied orange peel and fine herbs. Balanced and refined with lively tannins — 9 years ago
Black and brooding with a high-piled eccentric crown of stiff frizz, descending wildly in chaotic lacing. This subversive Russian has been meddling in my election to drink through my beer collection before the birth of my child, and subsequent, triumphant return to wine! It stares at me; a quiet threat. Now, open and daunting, I ease in with the slowest approach. Robust fig and chocolate purée, with treacle, toffee, Turkish spiced coffee, baklava, chocolate nougat while also ganache coconut balls., cinnamon, brown sugar, black strap molasses and candied pecan aromas swirl thickly in this awesome mine of whiskey darkness. The aromatics lose intensity when you take a sip of this subterranean shadow magma. Blackberry reduction in dark chocolate, burnt caramels, coffee brittle, gorgeous rye herbaceous-ness, sprouting fresh oregano, peppercorns, chicory, Spanish brandy, truffles, allspice, marjoram, molasses, vanilla extract, soy sauce minus the salt. Sweet and bitter battle in smoky, stick basalt vessels filled with dark chocolate, sage and espresso. Enormous! Layer upon layer of warping wood expressions and undulating liquids of blackest culinary art. — 6 years ago

Magma lite...buonissimo, overwhelming earthy, rocky flavor 🌋🌋🌋 @Delectable this wine is from Etna not Spain — 9 years ago
This is a nice wine with a lot going for it! Big graphite on the nose, blackened, brackish fish bones. Resinous tar, maple nut, charcoal, graphite, slate-y blackberry that morphs into dried black currant, espresso with chicory, licorice, black raisin, and olive tapenade! Stupendous! Not for fruit flies, but crypt dwellers: put down those frightened teens, and pick up a glass of these magma-seared, skeletal, zombie piranhas! Santé! — 9 years ago
