Very enjoyable wine with flowers, cherries and some dark fruits and earthy notes. Very smooth from start to long finish. — 11 days ago

Paired this with a pasture raised ground beef & veggie stuffed delicata. Was amiable with the dinner, a bit astringent when drinking with out the food. Overall happy with it! — 19 days ago

Medium bodied. Bing cherries. A little bit of fruit rollup (i.e fruit leather). Light acid. Celebrating my graduation from rocket training! — 7 days ago
A lot less tannic than the Barbs I’ve had of similar age - my guess was 2015 - but still rough around the edges — 22 days ago
Every time I have this wine it gets better and better. Had this after a scarecrow 2003 and this was way more interesting! — a month ago

I think Montefico is one of the richer Cuvées in the PdB range. Initial response - Menthol and Mint - very savoury. Dry powdery tannins; a touch of liquorice and tar on the medium plus bodied palate. Dried cherry. Some bitterness at the finish - good grip even at 13 years. I’m not across all of the PdB Riservas but if anyone is it is probably Galloni. His description, “Imagine the precision of Ovello but with slightly darker fruit and more density and power through the middle. That’s the Montefico.” — 8 days ago
