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 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...

That you still feel the taste next morning... 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... Anders

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