Sunday, June 28, 2015 - Ristorante Bovio, La Morra: But there was a big step up in quality with the Monprivato ... Deep but radiant ruby colour. An exquisite, multi-layered nose of red cherry liqueur, subtle five spices, dry underbrush, tobacco leaf and cooked meat juices. A lovely bouquet! On the palate, after a relatively sweet entry, there were layers of red berry fruit, cooked smokey meats, red liquorice and high cocoa chocolate. In fact, in some ways, the wine seemed more primary than the Azelia. Viscous and velvety in the mouth, the wine had serious fruit weight and dry extract. There were big tannins but they were fine grained and well integrated. Elegant and refined. The Monprivato paired beautifully with my duck cannelloni. The wine finished long, dry and savoury. I got the impression it was just reaching its drinking plateau now ... Excellent!
