The 2008 ‘Mille e una Notte’ is a powerful expression of mainly Nero d'Avola that delivers bold aromas of blackberries and dark cherries followed by tar, spices, toast, licorice and sandalwood. It shows tremendous depth and character along with excellent structure, which is backed by a gorgeous touch of underlying acidity that gives it lift. This continues to impress all the way through the long, persistent finish which comes in layers. Today, this is showing fantastic, but give it another couple of years for it to fully develop.
