James Suckling Review
Rated 93
Aromas of red and black cherry, baked strawberry and charred rosemary. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. Slightly tangy acidity plays well with the nicely ripened red and black fruit. There's richness to the palate here, but it remains focused and not overdone. Lovely salinity mixes with notes of ash and dried orange peel. Layered. Sustainable. Drink now.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Planeta Santa Cecilia Noto Nero d'Avola DOC showcases a dynamic interplay between balsamic, grassy, and various fruity notes. The aromatic profile begins with hints of Mediterranean vegetation and the scent of seaweed found along the shores of Sicily. Sour cherry and ripe blackberry flavors dominate the red fruit category, while bergamot and bitter orange contribute to the citrus notes. Carob flour and incense add a touch of spice to the mix.
When it comes to the palate, the wine impresses with its harmonious blend of ripe fruit and oak tannins. The tannins are dense yet balanced, enhancing the overall structure of the wine and highlighting its intricate and distinctive character. This vin de garde is a versatile choice that can stand up to traditional pairings such as well-aged red meats, game, lamb, and richly flavored sausages.
