This was the third of 4 bottles we had purchased, opened on the spur of the moment, with no decant. It showed significantly better than the previous two bottles, in particular we note significant citrus character (orange peel and grapefruit peel, unusual in a Montepulciano). We had this after a Napa Cab, and my wife preferred this to the Napa bottling!.
It was yummy.

Intense! Seriously dark color. Very aromatic, black fruits and herbs but lots of smoke and cocoa. My only knock is that this felt like too much new oak for me. But the fruit is there to back it. Gobs of black and red fruit on the fore, a slightly hollow mid, and mostly toasted oak on the finish. Lacks some complexity. Blind I would have guessed new world, maybe a red blend from Washington.
