Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 6, 2016 - Celebration bottle.

Yellow toned bricking on the edge that leads to a core of cloudy cayenne pepper red. Beautiful. Aromatics are subtle and cohesive. Rustic dusty smells of leather, tea, earth, brambled blue fruits, and very shy note of amaro like herbs.

Sweet fruited, mid weight, still has slight grip. Acidity is lower in this vintage but sweet lemons hold the delicate mid palate. The wine is very cohesive at this point and I would say this is right in the money zone.

Because of the lower acidity I would drink this soon if you have them. Tertiary notes are still in the background and I would be afraid they would start to overwhelm if they were too present in the wine.

I love Montevertine
