Sunday, December 10, 2017 - Gold color. Nose opens with oxidation notes of maturity. Nutty, sunflower oil, grassy. Very round creamy thick texture on the palate. Acidity is lively.
Past its prime and declining but still in not bad shape.
Whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented, and held on their lees through a natural MLF. Bottled without filtration 17 months after vintage.
Grapes come from 3 vineyards, but for this flagship wine only most typical of Monte Bello's character are selected.
