  PnP enjoyed over two hours. This is the last of five - basically enjoyed one each year for the past five years. Based on this little test, and if it's representative, the the fruit is declining a little faster than the acids and tannins, so now seems a good time to be enjoying. Has been a nice ride. At this stage, it's recommended

  Andrea brought to CDC at her house. Another good CS from Piedmont. A WOTN for me.

  Wonderful. This Monferrato Cabernet Sauvignon shows just a little age in its color; dark ruby core, watery edge. The nose (this was a PnP, with the first glass allowed to breathe for ~ 15 minutes prior to consumption) is wildly complex, and offers all the hallmark notes I look for in CS. A half glass left on the counter on day 2 showed virtually no oxidation and in fact was one of the rare times (completely uncovered) a wine actually showed even more impressively than on day one. Med/Med+ body, very fine tannins still offering good framing; red fruits take a modest backseat the crème de cassis, tobacco and rich plum notes. I'm very glad to have two more left; will consume before 2027. Consistently, and brilliantly opened up over the course of the ninety minutes that followed. Cork 1/4 soaked, great fill, and the 14,5% abv is more like 13,5%-14,5%. At this stage in its development, and if this bottle is representative, it's highly recommended

  This is soft and juicy, with vibrant blackcurrant fruit and lots of spice.

  This bottle was a bit off from others. It had all the basics to break 90 points but had an odd flavor and an earthy smell that detracted from the whole package. Perhaps a bit overaged or it might have been Brett. The red and blue fruits were turning slightly plummy and the herbal nature of the wine has shown nicely. Finish is a quitenice tannin.
