Tasting notes

Deep red colour. Dark notes on the nose. Tar, wet earth, light mushrooms. Light floral high-notes. Powerful wine in the mouth. Tight and traditionally made. The fruit is not the most concentrated. Hints of tar, anise, wet earth. Not much clear fruit-notes. Fine acidity and some tannins in the back. Structured, but not the most tannic Montestefano. One for mid-term aging. Try again in 5 years. Good wine.
