  Detailed note comes later. Quite nice and fruity but at the same time kind of bland.

  My 16th Valentines Day with Holly so why not celebrate with a wedding year wine from one of my favorite producers in Montalcino. Cork pulled perfectly. Decanted for about two hours before our meal. On the nose, dark cherries, candied almonds (the ones you get from a German roaster), sandalwood, smoldering piñon, and leather; on the palate, hommade cherry/rhubarb pie, balsamic, mushrooms, black tea, and dried herbs. After a couple of hours, chocolate covered oranges entered the profile. It was awesome. Still quite tannic. Very dry. Acid is medium plus. The 2005 vintage is often overlooked but these wines are drinking fabulously right now.

  This was my last bottle, and it showed the best out of all them. It is rich but balanced. Accents of earth and tobacco. While I don't taste wood, I get the sense this saw small barrels, as I also get some mocha. I see no reason to rush if you have a bottle as I think this will cruise along for a while. I wish I had a few more.

  Really nice BdM, my 2nd bottle. Last had this 3 years ago. Beautifully fragrant, with lifted notes of mint and cherry/raspberry.
  Drink now through 2022.

  Shows the ripe year. Nose is overripe. Palate is pleasant with enough acid to handle decent fare. Drink if you have any.
