Epicuro Nero D'Avola 2008 - an interlude of the wine variety

 D'Aquino Italian Importing Co., Inc. Duarte, CA 91010


on la bottle:
"Made only from the Nero d'Avola grapes, this is a great wine with a beautiful rich, bright garnet colour and full bouquet redolent of berries, cherries and spices. The flavour is clear-cut, full-bodied and elegant. Perfect with grilled red meats and game. Serve at 18C"


taste:

it's really really thick tasting. i mean, lots of redolent berries and cherries. like lots. i wouldn't say this wine has a clear-cut flavo(u)r, but i would say it's full-bodied. what do you call it when it tastes so strong it almost feels warm? i can't imagine what this would taste good with - meat? a giant steak of some sort? perhaps full-bodied wines go well with acidic foods? i have no idea.
