Flush
Going to have this one with homemade vegetable soup.
A local liquor store stocks Gruet and orders cases for me.@pltrgyst do you find your Gruet at local stores or do you order online?
I really love a lot of Italian reds and this one is a fine example.
I am not sure but it had definite similarities. I joined Laithwaites as a Christmas gift to myself. It was a bottle they included in their Red Italian package. I should spend more time learning about the vintages but in reality I just like to try new wines.I've never heard of Nero di Troia. Any relation to Nero d'Avola?
@RocAFella1 @ over $200 a bottle I dont think so. It may have been a mistake to open it, maybe it is like some of the burgundies where I should have waited a few years.Worth the price of admission?
Did it open up?Port-a-potty made way on the nose to pure BO after a bit. Some time later, the nose is still a bit funky but more pleasant. Ended up being some decent wine. Never had ANYTHING quite like that experience.
Yes, it took longer than I expected. But it was better ultimately than the first bottle. But damn man, wtf with that fowl odor?Did it open up?
That's the "bull" part.Port-a-potty made way on the nose to pure BO after a bit....
I consider Nero d' Avola to be a truly Geek wine and drink as much of it as I can; even if the heretical, secessionist Papal forces, currently dominant in the Italian peninsula, term it otherwise.Nero d'Avola is one of my all time favorites. Had my first bottle outside Milan in 2017 and buy it anytime I see it.
Agree its good shit!I consider Nero d' Avola to be a truly Geek wine and drink as much of it as I can; even if the heretical, secessionist Papal forces, currently dominant in the Italian peninsula, term it otherwise.
If in doubt, read!
