A couple of weeks in the past, we reviewed a Sicilia Rosso supplied by Taylor in partnership with the Sala sisters of western Sicily.

Opening large with a dense core of black cherry and roasted plum, it unfolds with time and a few air and balances the fruit with notes of tobacco leaf, pencil graphite, and new leather-based. It by no means actually ceases to maintain issues compelling courtesy of massive tannins, medium acidity, and a drying end, permitting the savory components to shine from begin to end. Supreme partnering for a hefty session of grilled meals: eggplant for vegetarians, wagyu for carnivores.
