Chubby Appreciation: 92/100
Critics' Opinion: JS - 92/100, JR - 17/20, CT - 91/100


Appearance: Bright ruby.
Aroma: Spices. Powerful ripe red fruits. Some floral and leather.
Palate: Medium-full bodied with ripe and sweet tannins. Smooth. Complete and complex. Outstanding ripe cherry and plum notes. Bright but firm. Long lasting in the mouth.

A really good job for this Etna by Terre Nere. Pretty much aromatic like the Burgundian but ways lower price. It is even ready for enjoying at its early life. I personally would not mind stocking up as table wine at all. If you like your wine a bit of ripe and bright, this is a candidate for you.
