Firriato Harmonium

Romazini: 3/5 Stars

The Winemaker

Stephen Tanzer: 88/100 Points

Vintage 2006: Deep inky red. Deep aromas of black cherry, smoky plum, licorice balsamic mint. The dark fruit, coffee, and licorice flavors come off as a bit clenched today owing to an herbal quality and some youthful tannins. The moderately long finish offers pretty hints of rhubarb and thyme.

The Wine Enthusiast: 89/100 Points

Vintage 2006: This Nero d'Avola has all its cards in place and offers well-balanced notes of red currant and blackberry backed by delicate renderings of exotic spice. It's a complex and modern wine with fruity succulence, chewy tannins and very good length. The name "Harmonium" suggests harmony, and this wine definitely has that.
