The 2005 Nerobufaleffj is a powerful, dense offering with tons of fruit backed up by an imposing structure. This is a decidedly primary, fresh Nero d’Avola that needs another year or so to begin developing the full range of its aromas and flavors. Even so, it is formidably impressive at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Gulfi is one of my favorite producers of fine Nero d’Avola. These four top selections explore different facets of this native variety and are all compelling, each in their own way. Importer: Selected Estates of Europe, Mamaroneck, NY; tel. (914) 698-7202
