  April 22, 2024 - In a great spot right now with a 2 hour decant. Brambly fruits - blackberry and dark raspberry, something a bit woodsy, and really nice chewy tannins that kept on through day 2.
  Lovely.

  January 9, 2024 - Spot on, comparable to the 2012 MRV. Red fruit opening to Marion berry accents, hinting at complex, identifiable MRV terroir components.
  With some air, noticeable depth. Firm structure, impeccably balanced, elegant tannins. Everything exhibiting how this claret style offering will further blossom in a couple years. Definitely can go 10. Will look forward to this in the future, very nice. Wish I had another. 1 of 2
  *Decanted 375ml in lab bottle for day 2. The fruit usually develops & the structure tends to integrate. Here the fruit receded & structure really took over. Have been surprised either way before, so here it is again …

  January 1, 2024 - OK. Similar to previous bottle. Maybe I expect better from Monte Rosso. Did not blow me away

  June 1, 2023 - Quick decant. Broad bouquet of black raspberries, blackberries, red cherries, and lemon zest. Red cherry and red raspberry start the palate with a burst of energy, with a tart cherry component developing and lingering on the tongue. Acidity drives the finish more than the tannins, pushing the red fruit into a savory zone of thyme, chive, peppercorn, menthol and oak. Drinking great now and should be good another 5 years at least.
