Pop and pour. 14.5% abv. My second encounter with this 2009 Monstefano cru in the past month. Both bottles have been very approachable and very tasty. This bottle was right on top of its game with truffle-nuanced floral perfume. Lush black cherry, plum, tar and leather, with a pop of acidity set on a puckering, yet elegant tannic frame. Two thumbs up. Will improve over the next few years as the tannins mellow. Nothing wrong with trying one now while the '08's are cellaring.
Found some of these on close out for $40.... a steal for this quality.
