Stunning bottle! Far less dark and brooding than 2006, the uber rare 2000 Montepulciano is elegant, seamless and impeccably detailed. It’s layered with crazy depth of aromatics that soar flaunting BBQ spice, espresso, dried flowers and red fruit. It has off the charts complexity and a wild untamed nature to its expression that is as intriguing as it comes. The palate is precise, pure and balanced with a stunningly elegant texture and incredible length. Masterful wine.

Roses, violet, black cherry. Deep and clear fruit. Rich and intense. A slight cola edge on the midpalate. Lush.

A little more intense than the Emilio Pepe, which tonight wasn’t to its benefit. Still, an outstanding wine.
