A rich red, this leads with toasty smoke, mocha and licorice notes, accents to flavors of black currant, olive tapenade, bay leaf and dried dill. The muscular tannins are well-knit but lend a compact feel today that suggests decanting or short-term cellaring. Nero d'Avola, Petit Verdot and Syrah.

Dark, fruity wine full of depth with blackberries and black olives, dark chocolate and bark with a whiff of dates. Full-bodied, it shines for density with ripe, velvety tannins, a bit more dusty on the finish yet savory. Moderate acidity.

The 2021 Mille e Una Notte is dark and brooding, smoldering up with a beguiling bouquet of dusty sage and cedar shavings, enhanced by nuances of menthol and cocoa before giving way to blackcurrant. Savory to the core, it offers velvety textures lifted by brisk acidity as a mass of red fruit saturates the senses. The 2021 grips the palate with youthful tension and finishes with a wall of tannins nicely contrasted by a tinge of citrus and licorice. This powerful rendition of Mille e Una Notte will require extreme patience.
