Had in a restaurant tonight. Good acid and structure, well balanced. Smooth easy drinker, very soft and approachable, not overly tannic. Did not decant. Drank slowly over an hour and a half and it stayed great throughout. Probably would have lasted quite a bit longer but we’ll never know because we finished it with the last course!

Very similar profile to the 2016, tasted two years ago. On nose:tart cherry and hazelnut skin. On palate: ( after a necessary 3 hour decant) ,notes of light oak , faint clove and fennel , minerals and bolstered by clean , youthful acidity on a lean , but not thin body...well put together , and capable of ageing .

With the earthy smell of Rosso to it. Fruity, chocolatey, very showy today.

Classic Rosso di Montalcino here. Savory and fruity. Good length on the palate. Savory, maybe a bit lean, but I like it.
