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 [through 2026+]. Score - 94. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 17, 2022) 1500 mL bottle
