Here's the scoop
Sicily (Sicilia)
Red grape= Nero d'Avola (90%)
Serious producer= Colosi
Here we go...
2003 (yes there is a story behind this old vintage)
Colosi Dry Red Wine
Deep brick red- still clear to pale rim
Blockbuster aromas of dried fruit (ripe), tar, tobacco,light spices, cherry...
Stewed fruits, but still vibrant with cherries and wild game components...
Moderate finish.
Now here's the story-
Old wine stored in horrible conditions (not mine)- not a wine to lay down, a "drink upon release" type, like "MOST WINES" (just ask me and I will elaborate)
and yet... it still SURVIVED!
Even in the worst storage conditions and beyond it's expected "shelf life"
it still SURVIVED.
The short story- Colosi wines are affordable and produced with utmost quality.
