Donnafugata Mille e una Notte 2009

Excellent intensity and energy here, with aromas of dark currants, black cherries, wild herbs, anise, balsamic and some cracked pepper. It’s compact, with a lightly chewy, firm yet perfectly ripe tannin frame. Deep core of black fruit. Long and still so youthful. Mainly nero d’avola with some syrah. Tasted from magnum. Drink or hold. Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 17, 2022)
