Blood and iron. In a good way.

I might not place it up with the usual suspects but it's still silly QPR for a very good wine.

Finally, a note on this! I had one of these 4 years ago and thought it simple,
but maybe it was just a bad bottle. At least it was unspoofed!

Or a lesser vintage? As mentioned it's not up there with CRB or MO or LP or CO but I liked it and it's hard to argue with the price.

How was the condition of the bottle? I bought some passito with signs of heat damage.

Fine. I bought a bottle of the passito as well but haven't opened it yet.
 
I'm told recently that the Salina Rosso suffers from being served at room temperature rather than cellar temperature (I had it in CWS so it never warmed up).

I tried to open the Passito on Sunday but was told there was too much wine.
 
Did it taste like blood fresh from the vein, or blood that's been exposed to oxygen but hasn't yet coagulated?

I prefer blood after it's breathed a bit.

While we're at it, A, B, AB or O? Rh + or -? Inquiring minds and all that...

I've gone through a fair amount -- apologies for the negligence -- and have loved every drop. Really super stuff.

Well done, sir.

I had to double-check the poster's name.

Isn't the fresh stuff kinda simple?

It took my aging, cluttered, blood deprived brain a moment to recall what the hell this was.
What about the Hiera? Is that all Nero D'Avola and a bit too woody or dense?

Sorry, after Joe's screed on how people keep finding all these obscure blood types in wine in their tasting notes I resolved to keep things simple.

How are the white and Passito? I have both waiting for a free moment to pull the corks.

I picked up a bottle of this at Astor after heading downstairs from the Lambda Delta Mu Fall Semester 2-Day.

I would not have had I not seen it mentioned here. My wife and I much enjoyed it- thanks for the heads up.

Haven't had the Passito, but I really like the white, in a sort of white Rhonish idiom.
