Drinking Window
Optimal Window:2023 – 2038
Peak Period:2026 – 2038
Current Condition:
Primary fruit transitioning to complex secondary and tertiary notes; can be enjoyed now with decanting, but will gain suppleness, depth and tertiary complexity over next 10-15 years.
Tasting Profile
Current Profile:
Vivid cherry, red currant, wild herb, rose petal, and balsamic hints; tart red fruit acidity and youthful tannin grip. Hints of anise, forest floor and sweet spice begin to emerge.
Evolution:
With age, expect dried rose, leather, cedar, tobacco, dried cherry, truffle, and more pronounced earthy/mineral notes. Tannins will resolve and the palate will become silky and complex.
Peak Expectation:
At or near peak from 2026-2040, showing deep secondary and tertiary aromas, resolved tannins, vibrant acid-spine, and classic Montalcino earth-mineral complexity.
