...Bright red fruit, flowers and spices are some of the nuances that emerge from this silky, beautifully balanced Montevetrano. The combination of explosive ripe fruit, richness and finesse is utterly breathtaking...This is a magnificent Montevetrano. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Decanted about 30 minutes prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2007 pours a deep ruby color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with powerful notes of ripe red and dark fruits: brambles, kirsch, plum, tobacco, purple flowers, green bell pepper, leather, cocoa, and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is positively delightful right now and there are little signs of slowing down. Drink now through 2037.

Elegant and pretty, with pure blueberries, juicy cherries and cassis flavors, framed by mature, grainy tannins and juicy acidity, rushing into a savoury and ash-like mineral-infused finish.

Stunning, if you like'em structured, mineral-driven, black currant/cherry-laced and intense. And adore beautiful labels...
