Tasting - Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola

Name: Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola
Variety:Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Review: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. Black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.

My Review: I thought this wine had a vaguely raspberry smell to it. It had a very heavy taste and was very dry. It had a distinct aftertaste, but not one I could place, a hint of spice was also detected.

Food? I did not have this wine with food.
