Community Tasting Note

• Eric Guido Likes this wine: 96 points

  February 15, 2019 - Having the opportunity to taste the ‘99 Monfortino twice in the same week was an honor. This night I found a dark, floral expression, rich in its showing of brown spices, as zesty black fruits, wild herbs, exotic spice and minerals emerged. On the palate, I found a rich, almost pliant expression, as ripe dark fruits seemed to soak the senses in a combination of minerals, acid and fine tannin, yet through it all a mix of wild mountain herbs and earth tones resonated. The finish was long with notes of balsamic spice, herbal tones and a twang of spice, acid and tannin. This was a different expression from the last bottle I tasted, yet equally appealing.
