May 31, 2023 - BYOB dinner NOTK (Supernova hotel, Rotterdam): Initially quite a bit of barnyard and VA. Lots of extraction. Black berry, black fruit, violets. A bit funky. Medium+ acidity, high and hard tannins and the moment. Long finish. Would love to see this with a bit more age. 91+

March 16, 2023 - Drank a small glass. Bottle number: 17364. Almost opaque with a medium purple core fading to a medium ruby outer edge. Wild brambles rolled in cracked black pepper, charred embers and silage. There’s a real depth and vigour to the wine yet a lightness and grace on the palate. Intense, textured, and alluring.

March 2, 2023 - As good as young Pepe is. My friend who had this blind called it Cornas which makes sense in a way since this shows the more meaty and floral side of Montepulciano. Quite sturdy structure at the moment but perfectly enjoyable, especially with rich and hearty foods.
Very good today but will most likely be a great wine with some proper age.2 people found this helpful Comment
