Tasting Notes

Smells much riper than the 1995 and more intense. Hint of chestnuts on the nose. Round and quite fruity with bonfire aromas and quite a bit of acidity. Very fresh and delicate. Looks bluer than the 1995. ‘We don’t love 1995 as much as 2001 because it was difficult in Monforte d’Alba. Lots of acid.’ Drink between 2006-2020
