Dusty rose and cedar shaving scents combine with worn leather and dried black cherry aromas as the 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva evolves in the glass. This displays silken textures and medium-bodied weight as a solid core of mineral-infused red and blue fruit tones slowly saturates toward the close. Staining and long, the 2020 finishes with a coating of fine-grained tannins and lasting primary concentration. This is much more balanced and complex than I’ve come to expect from the 2020 vintage. Lose some bottles in the cellar for best results.
