  Time in the bottle has softened this wine and integrated the tannins that were prevelant in the bottling early on (according to the experts at WA & WA & JR). It's still a lot bigger bodied and tannic wine than I expected. I am not that familiar with Vino Nobile di Montepulcianos, though. Distinct oakiness (but subtle) on the palate. I opened it to have with tomato-based spaghetti sauce, but the acidity was muted somewhat by the tannins and such. Medium dark fruit. Aromatic. Not my favorite style of wine, too big, more tannin that I care for and not a fan of oak. Wouldn't buy again, I need to try another wine from the DOC and drink it 'fresher' to boot.

  Really enjoyed this wine. The tannins are well assimilated and it has a lovely mouth feel and balance.

  Needs air and food to shine.
  Nez : mûres, vieux cuir, fines herbes, terre et poussière, boite à tabac, soupçon de chocolat noir... En bouche : mi-corsé, chaud, manque de fruit et peu complexe, court... Par la suite : fruits mûrs riches, épices...cassonade, belle finale moyenne chaude et épicés.
