93+ Ian Dagata - Vinous Media

"Good full ruby-red. Plum, spicecake, roast coffee, licorice and loamy aromas and flavors are deep and complex. Enters supple and sweet, with sneaky intensity and nicely integrated acidity. Then shuts down in the middle and finishes on an almost austere, steely note. Closes long, with polished tannins and outstanding persistence. A multilayered, refined and suave Nero d’Avola wine but a little closed down currently; I’d cellar this for another three years and enjoy for ten after that."
