Tasting - Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola

Nmae: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety: 100% Nero D'Avola
 Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Tasting Date: February 21, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None

Winery Review: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.

My Thoughts: The aroma is cherry licorice with mild spice and earthy notes. The flavor is a light spice with hints of nut, only mild tannins. The finish is short but leaves a lingering taste of cherry and berries.
