  This was so much better a year ago. Still great but the fruit was a lot more fresh and intense. This bottle showed a ton of mature fruit however the tannin was in perfect balance. Texture was really soft but the tannin supported it nicely. Color was more brown but had a pretty garnet center. This was my fourth bottle. I'm contemplating holding the other bottle for a bit thinking this bottle may be an outlier. The other bottles over the years were just so spectacular that I'm shocked it feel off so quickly in 16 months.

  Solid cork with limited seepage. Clear red-brown color. Complex aromas of dark fruit and leather. With time floral notes and spicy red fruit. Very dry finish which also improved with aeration. Clean pure, well integrated wine.

  Small vintage, and it shows. Wine was lovely, perfumed with menthol, but a little tired and out of balance. Nice expression of Monprivato, of which it has all the characteristics, but not the best example of how much it can give.

  Notes from memory. Served cool maybe too cold. Shy nose without depth or much complexity but also from a relatively poor vintage. Taste is slightly metallic but this is just a detractor. Otherwise in good shape and likeable.

  While this wine has a solid nose of cherry and a hint of herbs and perhaps soft cedar, and a lovely dark and tart cherry presence on the palate, it develops no secondary flavors or profile and in my view simply falls short of its reputation. I enjoyed it for sure, but it is not what it purports to be in my book.
