2017 Calabria IGT passito "Milirosu", Calabria, Italy

Firm, a little oxidative and iodine-like, somewhat herbaceous-vegetable, nutty, tobacco and hints of mushroom fragrance of mellow, partly dried apples and other yellow fruits with slightly ethereal nuances as well as nuances reminiscent of caramel. Ripe, tightly knit, sweet, slightly creamy, again partly dried fruit, fine acidity marbling the wine, has some grip, dense and persistent, Brazil nut and dried flowers in the background, hints of coffee, noticeable alcohol, which is well integrated with air, very good finish with a hint of tobacco, coffee, Mediterranean herbs and earth.
