The 2006 Ceuso is 50% Nero d’Avola, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. The international varieties dominate the balance in a powerful expression of jammy blue and black fruit, grilled herbs, chocolate and spices. This intense, dark wine is rather brooding at this stage, but it should come around nicely with another few years in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026. From top to bottom this is an impressive set of new releases from Ceuso. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
