"The 2021 Nero d'Avola is darkly floral, with pepper-tinged rose, crushed raspberries and hints of exotic spice forming its bouquet. It's silky and pliant, impressing with its smooth contours and a pleasant inner sweetness, as notes of wild blueberry give way to a staining of minerality toward the close. The 2021 tapers off lightly structured through the lip- smacking finale, while leaving hints of violette pastille and black currant to slowly fade. I love the balance and depth here, which make the 2021 a fantastic option either on its own or at the dinner table."
