My first Fontalloro. Decanted for 30+ but needed a lot more. However, show must go on when serving with dinner. Still evolving, tannins still quite powerful. Deep rich dark fruit core asserts itself in the glass. Needs more time or a longer decant.

Deep amber color with an almost black core. Blueberry on the nose at first, then it evolves into something more mature with tones of warm earth, tobacco and cedar. Full bodied attack, lots of sweet blueberries on the mid palate. Classic Sangiovese dryness kicks in on the finish, and the aftertaste mixes blueberry and a dry cedar tone. Somewhat short on the finish however, and ends a bit disappointing. I had expected some more concentration. Fully mature, but will keep well for many years to come. Good wine, but a bit underwhelming this time.

醒酒接近两个小时,闻香有灌木丛,红果,些许烟熏质感,入口酸度高,酒液咸,收口回甘,单宁紧涩,颗粒大,红果,奶油,些许香草和木质香气,余味覆盆子,红果味悠长。结构漂亮,细节精致,除了单宁略粗,别的方面很优秀。

Mørk, tett, flott konsenstrasjon. Kan drikkes nå men har et lenge igjen...

Great bottle - but still a baby. Really concentrated and dense wine. Long. Decant or put away for 5 yrs.
