Arnaldo-Caprai
25 Anni Sagrantino di Montefalco
Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Interesting notes of oak, parmesan and maybe raclette subtlety greet the senses I know this sounds odd). Loads and rich cherries and cinnamon rush the palette. Tannins are huge and will need another 5 years to resolve. A rustic, gnarly, strong presentation that picked up in style and character on day two. The oak profile is sublime. Give this more time.
