Tasting- 2010 Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola

Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety: Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95

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 Review: The color of this red is a very dark red, near purple. On the nose I smelled a rubbery smell mixed with some dirt and licorice. The wine had a fruity taste, a little bit of spice on the mid palate, and finished dry.
