Had this last night. Fantastic! Reminded me of a Brunello, believe it
or not. Incredibly long finish. Clearly the standout wine of the
evening, which also feature a Taurasi riserva.

100% Nero d'Avola. 14% alcohol.

$32.

"Bouquet of wild berries, blackcurrants and spices. Full-bodied on the
palate, with supple, soft tannins and a long finish."

"The Santa Tresa Avulisi Nero d'Avola 2002, on the other hand,
features an intense purple red that has a prominent and complex aroma
of berries and spices mixed with earthy notes."

OK....I have read enough in this group to know that UC hdoesn't have the
best reputation here, but me, being me, likes to be a tad opened minded, so
I'll ask a question, specifically generated by one of his posts...



What does "incredibly long finish" mean.

I understand the whole "retronasal" thing...but how can a wine be "longer"?
Wouldn't that be based on how long it too me to exhale through my nose, etc?
Is it a deal with, even thoguh I have finshed exhaling, and have tasted
whatever I need to taste, the smell/taste of the wine LINGERS in me? I can
understand that...I'm just not up on the lingo...

Seriously, the taste of most wine is gone within a few seconds. Some of the
better ones linger on for a while and if you still have the ghost of the
taste in your mouth a minute or two before it is finished and gone - well,
that is a very long finish...

Yes, I could still taste this wine when I woke up this morning.

You should brush your teeth before you go to bed.
