I'm always impressed by Montevetrano's unique (to me) flavor profile, satisfying and stimulating at the same time, and equally delicious with food or on its own. Recommended; drink or hold.

Quite interesting that several have commented on lack of fruit, as this was amply endowed with lovely fruit quality, well integrated with smoky earth and mineral base, nicely perfumed. Plenty of time left on this for additional development (which doesn't imply you will like it better with such). I decanted this about an hour, double decanted back to bottle to take to any event a few hours later. Beautiful stuff. 95+

Years ago, when comparing the 2010 to the 2003, the latter showed more richness and, naturally, more development, but I believe the 2010 has now surpassed the 2003 in quality, which was high to begin with. This beautiful wine is light on its feet, with layered complexity, and a lovely fruit balance: a pleasure on every sip. Recommended; drink or hold.

Popped and poured. Medium red color. Tannic, with some red fruits starting to show. Perhaps decanting would have helped the wine. I have no more bottles, so will never no.
