| Tasted by Yiannis on 9/14/2009 & rated 94 points: Dark red. Mind-blowing aromas of kahlua liqeur, black cherries, blackberries, herbs and grilled meat. Full bodied with dense but velvety tannins, excellent fruit, herbs and balancing acidity. Everything is just about right here. Textbook roundness and harmony. Very long herbal finish. Ready to drink now or over the next 10 years. (642 views) | |
| Tasted by tcfishler on 8/30/2009: Blind Italians: Dark garnet. Earth, herbs, a bit of licorice, and menthol on the nose. Superripe and even raisiny flavors roll along towards a big finish. My WOTN. (603 views) | |
| Tasted by amateurwino on 6/22/2009 & rated 92 points: tomato nose with flint - strong purplish plummy fruit. Nice 92. Tiny hint of band aid on nose. (821 views) | |
| Tasted by Johann Von Mastiff on 4/22/2009 & rated 93 points: Deep dark purple. Its a pretty big wine. Hot vintage and you can tell. All of the flavors are dark fruits. Very silky tannins. delish. (907 views) | |
| Tasted by jrobs7777 on 3/15/2009 & rated 92 points: Absolutely super reflection of the conditions. Still quite tannic and has some time go, even after 8 hour decant. It takes a while to coax the fruit out of the wine, with an initial nose of leather, cherry, pepper and spice. Eventually, chocolate and sour cherry are added to the mix. Really nice palate -- not quite thick and coating as you would think, but very nice complexity and balance. The tannins hit at the back end and carry through on the very nice finish. This will only get better over the next 5 years and is a great Montevetrano. (895 views) | |
| Tasted by ews3 on 12/22/2008 & rated 92 points: really young -- high tannins that integrated well over a couple hours. really dark fruit -- plum, blackberry jam. lots of oak here as well -- vanilla is there -- this almost tasted spanish to me, a similar style to Clio. (944 views) | |
| Tasted by JordanC on 12/7/2008 & rated 94 points: Blackberry, plum, cassis, pencil lead, firm sweet slightly chalky tannins. Teethh-staining purple and viscous with plenty of acid to hold up the tannin. Its a big, round, fleshy wine with plenty of life left. Decant for a few hours next time. This wine is drinking wonderfully. (1017 views) | |
| Tasted by vendange on 9/9/2007 & rated 91 points: On the nose: This reminds me of plum pudding with black currant and spices, especially cinnamon. There are also notes of dark berries and prominent vanilla aromas. The initial attack in the mouth is sweet and tangy with a strong mineral streak and more dark berries. The finish--which closes in quickly--is tannin-packed, spicy, and quite long. The final impression is of oak. I'd let this one alone for 5-7 years. (1770 views) |
