Montefalco Sagrantino

Yep. Solid.

Just way too young. Not nearly as integrated as the ‘08 of this I had 5ys on.

Deceptively transparent in color for its sheer tannic grip. The wine continues to blossom with air - expanding on the mid-palate to flavors of dry, cut stones, white pepper, dried sage and violets, jasmine, and black sesame. A pleasant amaro character brings a pointedness to the finish. Intense, yet intriguing.

Vintage 2015. Sagrantino, einer meiner Lieblingsweine.

Terrific. Dried red fruits, fierce tannins.

Vintage 2005 - mocca, flowers, good balance, still tough tannins

Ton of grip

I guess this is one of the benchmark examples of Sagrantino.

Still quite tannic. Needs food.
