James Suckling 91
Licorice, star anise and cumin on the nose, alongside black cherries. Smoky hints, too. It's bold, ripe and spicy with full body and broad tannins. Big and chewy. Drink now or hold.

The 2020 Duca Enrico is spicy from the first tilt of the glass, blending medicinal cherries with cedar shavings, cloves and dried violets. This washes across the palette with silken textures contrasted by a core of zesty acidity. Tart red berry fruits and hints of sour citrus add tension throughout. It finishes with staining length while mixing savory and sweet as a cascade of spice and licorice slowly taper off. This energetic Nero d'Avola is a pleasure to taste yet requires a bit of cellaring to integrate its oak.

On the nose, sweet aromas of vanilla, tobacco, blackberry and sugar plum waft above spicy, weightier notes of cinnamon, cardamom and clove. The more decadently sweet palate asserts flavors of macerated blackberries and whipped cream, but passion fruit also brings out the blackberries' tartness, and tannins provide grit.

There's a ripe, almost jammy quality to the black raspberry, black currant and black cherry fruit flavors, but all are balanced nicely by bright, blood orange peel acidity and savory notes of herbed olive, milled pepper and leather. The fine tannins are creamy on the licorice-laced finish.
