Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A reserved and elegant nose shyly suggests aromas of mineral reduction, citrus and tidal pool nuances that introduce beautifully detailed and seductively rich flavors that also enjoy plenty of dry extract that adds a sense of volume to the bone dry and highly persistent finish. This is really a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Fully mature, with a creamy, fresh butter edge to its peach, plantain, almond and melon notes. Lush finish has a lightly nutty edge but stays pure and defined, with hints of heather and beeswax. A lovely example of the mature style."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Blackberry and black licorice on the nose, with hints of fresh herbs. Full and silky, with a solid core of fruit and tannins. Goes on beautifully...91-94"

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Sandalwood, cinnamon, bergamot, and smoky evocation of crushed stone tinge sweet concentrate of black raspberry on the nose; then follow on a palate of already velvet-like textural richness yet vibratory intensity and positively refreshing primary juiciness. Notes of iodine, chard, shrimp shell,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Made by the legendary winemaker of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia, this is a robust and luxurious Nero d'Avola. A velvety palate of lush, concentrated dark cherries and spice is balanced with delicate acidity and ripe, sweet tannins on a long sexy finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Terre Nere’s 2010 Etna Bianco Cuvee Vigne Niche wraps around the palate with serious depth, power and richness. I very much like the way the 2010 fleshes out in the glass, coming at the palate in all directions with seemingly endless layers and pure, delineated fruit. Smoke, white truffle and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Big and dark, with cola, forest floor and other dark, secure aromas. The palate is young and burly, with ripe blackberry, cola and coffee flavors. As you’d expect, it’s a bit more narrow than Matallana’s top wine, but it’s still round, long and not difficult to like. Classic modern RDD; dark and..
