2019 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
3/17/2024 - Vascular46 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis wine has a deep ruby color. I drank most of it over 2 nights and saved enough for a small glass on the 3rd night. It is highly concentrated with puckering tannins that were very prominent on night one, less prominent on nights 2 and 3. The dark fruit began to appear on night 2 and was more apparent on night 3. The obvious conclusion is that it is not yet ready to drink. I suspect that it will be much better in another year or 2. |

2/22/2024 - Vascular46 Likes this wine: 89 pointsBordeaux blend from South Africa with CS, Merlot and Cab Franc. Medium bodied with a touch of dark fruit on the nose and palate and a hint of licorice on the finish. I suspect that it is at the end or slightly past its drinking interval as I had this wine in a So. African tasting a number of years ago and it was better. I have one more bottle - will drink soon. |

2/16/2024 - Vascular46 Likes this wine: 91 pointsInexpensive Blend from Priorat. Red and black fruit on the nose and palate. Drank in a Restaurant about 2 years ago and the tannins are much softer now and there is a hint of spice on the finish. I have a few more bottles and will drink soon. I don't think this is made for the long haul and it is quite pleasant now. |

2019 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
1/22/2024 - Vascular46 Likes this wine: 89 pointsDrank most over 2 nights (1/21 and 1/22) but saved 1 glass for !/23. Very closed on the first 2 nights with basically no nose on the first and minimal nose on the second. The glass saved for the 3rd night showed some dark fruit and spice. The obvious conclusion is that this wine is not ready to drink at this time. Will give the rest of the case at least one and possibly 2 years before opening them. |
