Cotarella Montiano Merlot 2018

A delicious, surprisingly savoury & structured Merlot from Lazio.
Dark plums, some blackberry & dark cherry character, but also an earthy, savoury underscore with some rocky notes, mocha, hints of roast.
Elegant & restrained on the palate with a good frame of polished tannins and juicy acidity. Very nice definition here and good substance.
Blind - a really good St. Emilion.
Sadly, priced equally high.

Montiano Lazio Merlot 1998

A powerhouse out of the bottle, grippy, expressive, a long and vibrant finish. It mellows in the glass, losing a bit of precision, but maintains a complex flavor profile and satisfying balance. Stewed fruit, caramel, tobacco, Forrest floor, smoke. — 4 years ago

@Carter White I am amazed it lasted this long. I finished my bottles a decade ago. Nice going !
