The darkly alluring 2019 Pinot Noir Riserva Monticol opens slowly in the glass, with crushed rocks, flint and dusty dried roses fading to black cherries and clove. This is like pure silk on the palate, yet with a saline core that adds savory depths. A cascade of juicy wild berry fruits flesh out across the palate. The 2019 Monticol tapers off with staining concentration and a coating of sweet tannins, yet it remains remarkably vibrant, lingering with hints of licorice and exotic spice. The Monticol is refined in a combination of large casks (30%) and barriques (70%) for a year prior to bottling. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2022)

9.2Jakub Kalinowski
Nicely fruity, with strawberries, light cherries, a hint of straw, undergrowth, a whiff of cream. But also a fresh, cool, mineral undercurrent. On the palate this is poised, more on the fruity, fleshy side. Brilliantly balanced with fresh juicy acidity and a mineral, herby backbone. Nicely polished tannins, too. 6h decant. Such a delicious PN, not Burgundy but so gooood!
