Tenuta Regaleali Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte 2013

So much treacle tart to this red but then tons of florals such as jasmine, violets and then mulberries and hints of vanilla. Full body and a remarkably juicy and tangy center palate of forest fruits, which are ripe but run clean thanks to no shortage of refreshing acidity. Long and fruit-forward yet somehow minerally on the finish. A triumph! Perhaps the best nero d’avola blend ever made. Delicious now. [Drink: 2024-2030+] Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 20, 2017)
