  This needed +1 hour after decanting to open up – it is completely wasted as a pop n pour, and it needs a rich meal to do it justice. Fragrances of sweet red and dark fruit and exotic spices, bitter chocolate; with air there is a floral quality that emerges; mid-weight wine with a firm understructure of acid and tannin, even if it is a bit hot; very long, mineral finish; drink to 2025+; very good QPR.

  A distanza di pochi anni, questo Mamuthone 2012 mi è piaciuto meno: vino sicuramente solare, vitale ed intenso, ma un tantino fuori registro, decisamente surmaturo, con l'alcol un po' fuori controllo.
  In definitiva un vino verace, sicuramente buono, ma poco equilibrato e non molto elegante.

  Maybe a little more on the elegant and wispy side of things, whatever that means. Less ripe and brawny than the 11 (brawny isn't really a good word for either vintage, but). Beautiful grenache-y nose, full of history.

  Ottimo vino.
  Naso solare, vitale, intenso, un filo alcolico: una bella confettura scura di more e mirtilli ed una profusione di erbe mediterranee, tra cui spicca un netto rosmarino; in evoluzione note di cacao amaro. Bocca piena e carnosa, con tannini belli decisi ma ben integrati in un corpo massiccio. Il tutto snellito da una buona verve acida e da una fragranza di frutto davvero notevole.
  Bellissimo Cannonau, potente, verace e molto inebriante (15° alcolici).
  Q/p ottimo (12 euro).
