Can see the enhanced spice and integration with this Riserva bottling. One of the more gentle palate “vineyards” from PdB when compared to Rabaja or Mocungatta.

2015 vintage. True to type: dried tart cherries, cranberry, lingonberry, spiced red plum, sandalwood, menthol, tar, dried rose petals, licorice, stale nutmeg. Lots of structure and long finish. James very much enjoyed with a lamb dish.

Somewhat disappointing bottle but not without some redeeming qualities. Beautiful complex nose, yet the ripe fruit dominates the palate right now. Also a tad disjointed.

So good. WOTN. Absolutely freaking classic. Tart, Red, Roses, Anise, Rip your lips off structure. Dusty tannin. This wine is awesome and has another 30 years in front of it.

Tried via Coravin. Apparently the bottle had been "tapped" for the first time quite a while ago. Tasted quite fresh, perhaps that's the distinctive mint quality I often find present in Montestafanos from Produttori. Red fruits and considerable depth, it sustained well in the finish.

Ripe and fruity with dried herbs and classic tar notes. Tannins are well in check. The most complete (right now) and ready to drink of the 2011 Produttoris I've had. Absolutely delicious.
