This is regularly one of my favorite wines from Baglio del Cristo di Campobello, although I found the 2012 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lu Patri to be weighed down by lots more oak than I remember in the past. This wine may just need more time to integrate. At this current tasting, it shows dark fruit layers and an inky black impenetrable appearance. The bouquet throws a lot at you from blackberry preserves to Teriyaki sauce and spicy barbecue smoke. It's hard to find the Nero d'Avola typicity below all that spicy opulence.
