  My first time trying a Montepeloso, their 'Grand Vin', from Tuscany. A blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Malavasia Nera and Alicante Bouchet. Reminded me of a Bolgheri. Blackberry, leather, cherry, bacon fat, savory herbs, Tuscan dust. Tannins present but resolved and well integrated. Excellent wine.

  Subsequent notes on this wine from 6 years ago. Dark reddish-purple garnet, essentially opaque in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of dark fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes of violets, spices, herbs, dark cocoa, coffee, tar, minerals & hints of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied, with very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush, ripe dark fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with earthy, dark cocoa, spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing but at 14 years of age, it is close to or at its peak of development. Although it may hold here for several more years, I doubt any further development would occur.

  Colour still rich and deep. Ripe and luscious but plenty of matter. Still with a twist of tannin on the finish. Classy maybe a little glossy but lovely balance and good with and without food. Ready now but at least 5 years to go.

  Decanted for 3 hours. Fruit still retained. Wine softened over time. Very enjoyable. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It tastes like blackberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has angular texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Paired with lasagna, but this probably would have done better with steak. I think that this wine will do well for another 5-10 years.

  Opened a couple of hours before dinner. Drinking nicely, color just showing a touch of age, tannins well integrated…still has structure to hold up for a few more years. Will easily make its 20th birthday.
