Le Vigne di Eli, San Lorenzo, Etna Rosso

Couleur claire qui fait un peu penser à un pinot-noir, sous-bois, herbes, foin, goudron, épices, menthe, café, alcool perceptible au nez, bouche puissante, pleine, tannins encore très présents, beau potentiel, très belle bouteille plus sur la puissance que sur le fruit, encore un peu fermée, attendre 3 ans au-moins

Nice clear ruby color. Sweet fruit like a dried cherry nose with a nice earth element. Really nice nose. An extremely rich and strong entry but without a lot of weight. Keeps a nice light to mid weight with a steady decline to an herbal and tannic finish. Good acidity and quite long actually. Lots of energy here as well on entry and the finish. Very strong profile for such a light weight. Lovely really. Strength from the raw material …

Beautiful burger wine, would you believe? Nice soft tannins, dark cherry. Lovely wine

Beautiful wine

Aromas of red berries, brown sugar and toffee. Light bodied and quite elegant, but not up to the standard of the best Etna wines.

Mineral, red and darker fruits. Young and intense with chewy tannins. Very nice.

Mike Bennie resents - Island Life Expressive Wines from Sardinia and Sicily (United Cellars, 100 William Street, Sydney) : sour cherry with slight herbal and earthy notes as well as a touch of smokiness. Juicy with sour cherry then grippy drying tannins that persist long.
