2011 Redi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Sangiovese more

3/26/2018 - wtianseter wrote: 92 points

Smooth subtle wine yet it has spice and lots of character. Sangiovese leads the way with a little tobacco and smoke. The mouth is full and tingly and the finish shows off a long and medium strength and smooth tea-tannin. The wine is drinking superbly right now but properly stored bottles will live for 5 or more years to come.

I'm glad I held this last bottle of 4. It certainly improved from 3 years ago. However, there is still a strange background taste that I cannot get my hands on...it detracts from the overall flavor.
I would love a comment from someone who has had this wine.

In-your-face nose of Knorrs beef bouillon cubes (Salt, monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed soy/corn/wheat gluten protein, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, beef fat, dehydrated vegetables (onions, carrots, parsley), beef extract, water, guar gum, colour, autolyzed yeast extract, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, spices, tartaric acid, citric acid, hydrogenated soybean), which cuts right past the maraschino cherries, leather, and fresh cut wood that are also present to lesser degrees. This is a distinctive, high acid, idiosyncratic wine. Was initially put off by the rather odd bouquet, but once I got past that, I found it wasn't all that hard to drink, though the Knorrs is better QPR at $1.67 a box.

This was a skillfully made and well-balanced wine, with a delightful old-world nose. The palate expresses delicate mixed black and red fruits, with hints of iron, oak, and leather....masculine, in a restrained and genteel way. Very good stuff, and perilously quaffable. The bottle disappeared in two shakes of a rabbit's tail. Drink now.

Good. Tannins are receding, but it still possesses plenty of acid, and works with fatty meat such as ribeye. This bottle presented delicate mixed black fruits, tobacco, and oak spice, along with the noticeable acidity. Could go for some time yet.

Tasted after a 3-hour decant.

Good, but not great. This is supposed to be a Sangiovese-Cabernet-Merlot blend, but the Cabernet is the only varietal that makes itself known. This wine was low in acidity and tannins, noticeable by their absence since we were eating steak. It also lacked the complex minerally and savory characteristics that I associate with a good Super Tuscan. I'd describe it as tasting like a generic Cabernet Sauvignon from a middling vintage.

On P&P: Still has acidity and tannins, but fruit has faded. It might open up with some air; I'll post an addendum if it does.

Drinking well. Best with traditional Tuscan food. Full, deep, well balanced with notes of Tuscan earth, dark fruit and a bit of barnyard. Terrific.

Top notch value!

Great acidity and tannins come together nicely under layers of dark fruit.

Great finish, better after being open 2 hours, so maybe the rest will stay laying down?

Wow! A huge improvement from my last bottle. The nose is true to its origin, mix of dried tart cherries and Tuscan herbs., On the palate, medium tannins, body is medium to full, balanced notes of tart cherry and herbs, all surrounded by that "element" that undoubtably makes this wine a vino Nobile

Light bodied and dark colored, this wine delivers a quick hit on the nose and the palate, but neither lasts more than a moment. Dark fruits and tobacco.

PnP, nose of cherries and Tuscan herbs that continues in the palate, cherry becomes dried and slightly bitter in the same way as chianti. Rebottled half of it on a smaller bottle and was enjoyable after 2 weeks+. Enjoyable wine but not as special as I wished

I opened this after our 1/25/14 Super Tuscan tasting. It had an elegant, alluring bouquet of violet, cherry, blackberry and spice aromas. The palate was focused and dry with flavors of cherry, blackberry, spice and a touch of mocha.

Dark ruby color with fragrant cherry aromas. The sipped wine has red and black cherry fruit, a fairly smooth texture, and drying tannins. The finish is firmly dry and mildly astringent. Highly rated and moderately priced. If the wine gets more open, integrated, and delicious with additional age, the score will be even higher.

Based on tasting the wine for 4 days after being opened. Almost opaque with an inch pour, with pleasant aromas of dark plum and cherry. The mouth entry is more Sangiovese dominated, with astringent acidity and tannin that pull the wine back from becoming lush or caressing. While the acidity does stimulate a saliva juiciness, even that fails to wash away the astringency, which in turn endures all the way through the aftertaste. Overall, despite having an 8 year opportunity to round and open, the wine remains almost all bristle and no charm. But, having seen equally warty frogs emerge to be a lovely princess, I choose to let hope spring eternal.

Based on tasting this wine left open for 11 days. With great relief because we have many more bottles, I can report that the Redi is significantly better with additional time opened. Still firm but not relentlessly astringent. More openly fruity red cherry and much more rounded texture. Moved into the top range for food compatibility, where the tannin and bright acidity really shine by melding instead of dominating.
