"Open, ripe, sweet fruit perfume, high-quality oak spice; lots of appeal here. The palate is nonetheless highly structured, with abundant but ripe tannins and firm-fresh acids. Very good length. Substantial wine, best from 2028 - this should also age well into the late-'30s. Tasted January 2023."

"Spiced and more concentrated, the 2019 Le Coste Di Monforte is ripe with licorice, cherry, and forest herbs. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and broader shoulders, it is earthy with turned soil and persistent with tannic grip as well as dried flowers and tea leaves. Hold this another couple of years and drink 2025-2045."
