[94+] This is one of Sicily’s iconic red wines. The 2015 Noto Santa Cecilia shows a new change of clothes with this vintage…direct and chiseled quality of the bouquet makes a break from some of the heavier and more extracted aromas of the past. The aromas are bright and buoyant with ruby cherry followed by crème de cassis and dried cranberry… those perfumes caress and embrace the senses. It does show elegantly integrated tannins and fresh acidity…. This new and beautiful vintage of Santa Cecilia opens a new chapter…can’t wait to try future releases. – ML
