Straw colored with tinge of green
Short lived exuberance. Gushy, frothy head with bright, cheery green apple, lemon and raw pineapple notes that fade all too quickly. Bubbles dont stay. Palate very lightweight. Very dry. Very short finish.
Interesting wine. My first English bubbly.

2009 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Altero

Deceptively young in the glass with purplish hues still hinting at days of youth and vigour. Alas the nose and palate tell a different story. Acidity and fruit have slipped. Nonetheless it retains some fairly summery flavours that are heading into autumn. Dried figs, sweet cherries and strange raisiny undertones, almost amarone-like. The robust, leathery tannin of youth has matured into a chocolatey tannin.
This didn't benefit from a decant which might have given up more hints of its delectable youth.
Whatever, it's past prime and should be consumed soon. Now till 2025.
