Cinnamon and baking spice. Cranberry, cherry, red currant, and plum skin, all the fruit is under the hood. Black licorice, camphor, and woodsy spice.

Needs ample air. Hot at 14.5%. A bit big for it’s britches for a century note on the shelf. I think time in the cellar should help. Paired with Italian sausage and mashed potatoes.

The wine is full bodied wine, on nose its big strawberries, vanilla notes, leather and oak. On palate, acidity is medium+, chewy, creamy, firm structure, long finish, big fruits of course. This is a beautiful wine, considering 2018 is not an easy year for montalcino. Decant time is 1 hour, enjoy it now or keep it for 2-3 years. Cheers!! 🍷
