Uncommon balance and purity this vintage is known for. Nothing obscene nor hedonistic here. — 9 years ago

Pietro Caciorgna

N'Anticchia Etna DOC Rosso Nerello Mascasele 2008

Reminds me of the afternoons spent foraging for porcini in the shadow of the great Cyclopian volcano, but baked in the scorching Sicilian sun. Stewed strawberry, sweet damp forest, a zephyr of sulfury volcanic breeze and a surprising, almost cab franc memory of roasted sweet pepper. Tannins that grab your inner thigh enough to rouse your attention but recede so as to not be obscene or distracting. Good bloody juice. — 9 years ago

Viu Manent

Secreto Colchagua Valley Malbec

Not s bad baby wine. Pointed and a little green, but working with some great soil notes, and bakers chocolate. Rich black soils and a real extracted plumminess, that makes this thing work like a nice Cahors, but simultaneously bring new world fruits, but not in obscene abundance. — 10 years ago
