Opened last night. A glass tasted then (via Vinturi) had a subdued, dark nose of blackberry and garrigue. Palate was juicy blackberry fruit, tannins fairly subdued. 24 hours later, nose is very expansive, berry fruit with dried herbs (thyme?). Palate rich with berry, cassis, again some dry herbal notes. Fantastic.

Enjoyable wine. Nice cherry flavors that are well integrated with the tannins, but was expecting more, as I've had some terrific Monte Rosso's in the past. Maybe more time in the bottle will help open it up.

excellent; shared with Mel & Miguel in Portland after two rounds of beer at The Goose. Yummy!
