This vintage of Mirabile’s pretty Nero d’Avola (with the attractive label featuring a Sicilian succulent plant) offers impressive intensity and purity of aromas. The wine is smooth and bright with fresh berry notes, almond and smoky after tones.——M.L.(5/1/2010)—— 90

Here’s a very successful expression of Nero d’Avola with smoky tones of mesquite wood, jerky, honey-roasted ham and exotic spice. There’s a broad base of mature fruit at the back—especially black cherry and prune—that adds to the wine’s plush, succulent mouthfeel.——M.L.(5/1/2010)—— 88
