Rosso di Montalcino 2000

Garnet red core to a watery slightly brickish rim.

Moderately intense on the nose. Cherry,oak, rose petals.

Medium acidity, medium yet soft tannins. Not a lot of fruit showing. Perhaps in a dumb stage? Hints of cherry and dry earth.

1 hour later

Cherry aromas are still present but some milk chocolate detected.

Not much change on the palate though.

3 days later

Smokey grilled meats. Dark ripe berry fruit. Red licorice whip and milk chocolate on the nose.

Soft tannins.

Holy shit Batman the fruit has showed up. Sweet blackberry liquor and grilled meats. Creamy mouthfeel.

Now it's a good wine. Too bad it took so long to show it's face.

I would of tried it again sooner but I never had the time.

Man, three days for a Rosso to show it's fruit. Good thing I didn't hold my breath.
