Lot #656. Donnafugata Mille e Una Notte Contessa Entellina Rosso 1997

Description: Consists of 1 Double Magnum, 3L
Score: 93 VM.
"Dark, bright red with a pale rim. Strong mineral nuances to the aromas of red berries, quinine and orange peel. Delicate flavors of flinty red berries, minerals and quinine show a seamless quality, with a gamey nuance on the back end adding complexity. This less powerful but wonderfully sweet, round, spicy Mille e Una Notte boasts an outstanding balance of fruit, ripe acidity and polished tannins, not to mention outstanding length. The 1997 vintage was not the hot blockbuster it was in other parts of Italy; in the Contessa Entellina area, August was warmer than usual but September was fresh." Ian d'Agata, Vinous.com, Sep 2016
Provenance: The Multitude Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,100
