  Decanted for an hour, which tamed the tannins - this is a wonderful wine! Marinated lamb chumps on the bbq (olive oil, chopped mint, thyme amd parsley) with sautéed mushrooms- the wine is big, but doesn’t get in the way. “Silky tannins “ describes it well - beautiful, non-demanding fruity flavors. Probably would pair with many other meals!

  Blackish red in the glass. Red bell pepper nose. White pepper, pomegranate, cherry candy on the tongue. Lively acid, nicely balanced with medium tannin after a 2 hour decant. This is really delicious, glad I purchased a half case after Eric Asimov’s recommendation. Goes great with pizza or I’m sure any red pasta dishes.

  Day 1-3: Dusty black berries, baked sweet potato, blackbeans, ash/clay. Aromatically low toned/short with slight vividness of fresh berries. Texturally ripe tannin of medium++ weight melts in mouth like a baked potato again. Medium acidity. No outstanding taste/flavor component but having good persistence / overall structure. Clean without unnecessary oak.
  
  Day 7: staying fresh, gained additional layer of black raspberry, now aromatically more balanced.
  
  Might pair nicely with any dishes using the kick of deep-fried bacon. Expected more from this producer / $20 price for montepulcuano d’abruzzo, but still enjoyable.

  Medium ruby color. Serious funk on the nose... the fruit is black cherry in the background to wet mushroom and barnyard. Body and mouthfeel is medium with a medium finish. Acid lays low; tannins more pronounced. It opened up a bit after a day, but not sure the structure is there to develop too much more.
