Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Not as funky as the previous two that were opened. Very pleased.

1985

Another recorked in 2013 bottle. Better then the last, but not a candle to the ones on original cork.

Chocolately, not in best shape tho

Blown away.

Didn't know they were releasing recorked versions of this. Delicious but too fresh and full of VA for what I look for in the non recorked 1985.

My favorite from our Chiara and Emidio pepe wine dinner.

1985

En magnum

Bouquet of cherry, mushroom and petrol - sweet cherry and lemonade in the mouth, with long energetic finish. But oddly, didnt exhibit any tertiary notes with time and it became quite raisin-y by the end of the 2hr dinner. So, I was a bit disappointed with the final drops of wine, not as stellar as the initial impression.
