Tenuta Col Falco
Montefalco Sagrantino
Italy
2015; Notes after 24H open.
Nose has dried red fruits, ripe blackberry and some dried leather.
Palate has black cherry compote, dried plum, dark chocolate with drying tannins.
15.5% ABV, I feel this might be understated.

Gorgeous nose. Big ripe red and black berry fruits, cassis, almost liquer like, floral, dark, earthy, perfumed, gorgeous. Palate is massive, brawny, big, dense with those sagrantino tannins. Wow. Awesome. Sweet fruit and lingering tannins and huge dry extract. Needs brontosaurus.
wAyyyy better after 2 hours. Tannins more velvety but still big. More harmony on the nose. Lovely. Really elegant. Killer.

Love this. What a nose. Plum, spice, black licorice, herbs, black cherry, black berry. Awesome. Juicy and complex with wonderful velvety texture and some bitter cocoa! Awesome. Palate is very refined for Sagrantino. Tannins are so good. Terrific freshness and acidity. Very complex already but will gain with age. Tremendous finish. Really amazing finesse for such a large scaled wine. However much I sold this for is too cheap.

Old skool. Wonderful. Nose is like a young port crossed with lilac jam. Amazingly powerful and beautiful. Palate is blackberries and a hint of chocolate. Sweet and perfectly dense blackberries. Wow.
Too young and needs an hour decant but what a wine.
Man the nose is elegant.
Super traditional.
This wine is like a tank ballerina. Preposterously densely elegant on the nose. Palate is dense big fruit. Spice. Pleasurable. Almost two wines in one. But the nose is l33t.
