A mild, lingering burn betrays the heat of the vintage, but the craftsmanship of the Lisini house carries the day. Still needs a 90 minute decant to show well. Open, giving, earthy, food friendly. Well into peak, but years away from decline. Drink or hold.

shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. longevity estimates for this wine are all over the map. i chose not to take further risk by waiting any longer. the wine proved to be sound. dark color. rich mouth feel. mostly prune, dark skin fruit and some earth. i suspect it might have been better with more air. those holding bottles can look forward to enjoying this wine over the next few years.

no formal notes, but this bottle was very enjoyable. It may have been the best Lisini we have had since the bottle we enjoyed at L'Enoteca on Rue Charles V in the 4th.

A nice Montalcino that went very well with - of course - Italian cuisine.
