Rose petal, deep cherry, black granite, wild herbs, lavender, balsamic and fresh leather. I can't rave enough about Mt. Etna wines : Burgundy in disguise. For the price, this is very hard to beat the quality.

Soft texture but shows weight and depth with dried dark fruits, earth, damp leather, and spice.

Oh Nerello Mascalese, I love you so much! Nice, subtle pepper and wonderful cherry fruits. I'd let this sit for another year or two.
