Tasted blind, 3/21/07.

Youthful but complex, terroir-driven red fruit/berry nose w/Asian spice, well-concentrated midpalate, acidity provides lift on finish w/very smooth tannins.
89 pts.

C'mon, it's a well-known rule of thumb: the harder the label is to read, the better the wine. Haven't you learned that?

Always looking for good Nero d'Avola's. What kind of price do you see this going for?

I didn't buy this bottle, but a quick online search shows that it goes for around $21-ish...
