Zh) Nur etwas für Freunde reifer(alter) Weine, nix für Frucht-Hedonisten. Reduzierte Kraft, aber die schöne Milde alter Merlots. Seit ein paar Jahren aus dem optimalen Trinkfenster, aber immer noch ansprechend und fein verbacken. Im übrigen der Beweis, dass der Montiano, einer der besten Merlots Italiens, auch nach 20 Jahren noch lebt. In großen Jahrgängen kann das u.U. richtig toll werden…

Our last bottle of this August wine! A dark opaque purplish ruby in the glass, the nose beckons with dark cherry, dark plum, oak spices, and sandalwood. Notably better than the last bottle we consumed about one month before. Juicy, alive and with a slighly oxidized nose. Very nice and our last bottle.

Still has life left. Decanted just before dinner. Lots of sediment.
Drank over next 2 hours.

clearly on the downside of the drinking interval. Some fruit still present(blackberries) but not like it was 5 years ago.
