Girolamo Russo, San Lorenzo, Etna Rosso

Excellent wine with clear development. Hibiscus, rhubarb, cherry and some vinegar on the nose with a strong sense of minerality. Great acidity and med+ tannins give it considerable structure worthy of some richer food; we had porcini risotto which paired wonderfully.

Like 2024-09-07 but the slightly fiery feeling is gone. Drinks for dinner with chicken with hints of sage and other herbs, lemon and a couple of sours and boiled potatoes and roasted carrots.

Ljust röd. Något ålderstecken vid brämen. Genomsynlig. Vacker färg. ??Jordgubbe, örter, körsbär på näsan. Peppar eller rök? ?? Sammanhållen. Lika mild framtoning som tidigare. Frukt finns ordentligt kvar. Syran är mjuk. En viss munvärme. Underbart matvin och finemang att ha i glaset för sig själv. Bright red. Some signs of age around the edges. Transparent. Beautiful color. * Strawberry, herbs, cherry on the nose. Pepper or smoke?* * Structured. Equally mild as before. The fruit remains very present. The acidity …

Pale garnet. Pronounced aromas of black plum, violet, cooking spice, cedar, vanilla, cinnamon, thyme, dried fruits, licorice, coffee, chocolate. High acidity, medium+ chalky tannins, high alcohol, full bodied. Savoury medium+ finish. Very good wine. Perhaps needed a slightly longer finish to be outstanding. Suitable for further aging.

Lite som en blandning av en högklassig nebbiolo och pinot noir. Mycket fin balans, små tanniner och lager av torkade röda bär och sicilianska örter. Kan säkert växa ännu mer med några år till i flaskan.

Surprisingly elegant - almost burgundian. Solid bottle of etna red.

Pale ruby color. Slightly cloudy. Nose of red cherry, savory herbs, a bit of cedar cigar box and fig. Ripe red berry fruits on the palate with some rocky, salty minerality. Hint of sweet dried/raisiny fruit on the back end. Medium+ acid and tannin. Long finish. Very nice bottle of wine but pushing the boundary of QPR.

Tasted blind. The nose had lots of dark cherries, red fruit, and a "classic" feel to it. Good acidity with quite a bit of tannins, some sweeter berries, and red fruit on the palate. Good finish. Interesting wine, but not super complex.

Color: medium-light ruby brick Nose: cherry and blueberry, ripe. Sour almond and minerals for days, wet stone and wild herbs. Hints of raisination too Palate: high acidity, medium tannin, body medium. Really a food wine. The tartness and Red fruit are very endearing here, and minerals give a lot of depth Finish: medium Deceptively simple. It needs an hour of air and then it really has a mineral backbone and acidity that impress, with enough complexity to be interesting on …

Mer i balans nu än senast, upplever jag. Klara likheter med en nebbiolo.

Nose - cherry, lavender Mouth - sappy nice red fruit attack, very clean and pure minerally midpalate, dry substantial tannins on the finish. Well made wine which combines stuffing with elegance and purity. Reminiscent of Cote de Beaune.

Very elegant and refreshing raspberry fruit but with a huge intensity and very crazy acidity. It is a producer and a wine worth looking out for but at the moment I feel that it perhaps lacks a bit of length and depth. I would hope that it could come with a bit of age as the acidity definitely dominates the wine at the moment. But, there is a lot of potential! Currently it’s is a wine that is all about …

Älskar producenten. Den här motsvarar inte helt förväntningarna varför övriga flaskor får vila sig i form. Närvaron av aska är tydligare än vanligt, men det finns ett uns av syrlighet jag hoppas rätar ut sig med tid.
