Tasting notes
The 2009 Lamuri is Tasca's mid-range Nero d'Avola, although it is a wine that regularly overdelivers for its price. Sweet candied fruit, herbs and flowers meld together nicely in this polished, mid-weight red. The 2009 is a somewhat firm Lamùri that will require at least 6-12 further months in bottle. I especially like the intensity and drive of the finish.

I especially like the intensity and drive of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. From top to bottom this is an impressive set of wines from Tasca d'Almerita. The estate seems to have honed in on a refined style across the entire range. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
