Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Readers looking for a recent Montevetrano that is ready or close to ready to drink should consider the 2005. Early tertiary notes of tobacco and smoke have begun to develop. The fruit is round, soft and harmonious all the way through to the long, polished finish. This is a relatively simple, accessible Montevetrano in this context, but it should drink well reasonably early. The balance and overall sense of harmony remain that of a first class red. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. Score: 93 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2025 01 August 2010 |

Very ripe and raisiny, with tar and licorice character that turns to volcanic ash and dried flowers. Full and chewy, yet balanced and polished, with a solid core of fruit and a long, subtle, flavored finish. Best after 2009. Score: 93 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2009+ 31 August 2008 |
