Maxwell Nero D'Avola Size::1 Bottle Vibrant aroma of lifted violetsNero d'Avola is so often buoyantly juicy, and that can work, but its nice to see iterations where the fruit is expressed in a more savoury light. This captures that well. Sure, there are still some bright fruited black cherry and raspberry notes, but theres a crusting of spice, an earthiness, some anise, and a lack of overt fruit sweetness, with a dry tannic draw further refining the finish. It works well.
