Description

Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2003"Pepes 2003 Montepulciano dAbruzzo is a bomb. Tar, leather, scorched earth and black fruit emerge from this dark, imposing Montepulciano. The wine comes together beautifully in the glass, as the aromas and flavors gain breadth and dimension. Despite the rich style, there is nothing excessive or over ripe here, just exceptional balance of ripe fruit as captured by a traditional approach to vinification. A final blast of tar informs the long finish.

After destemming

It sure tastes like a terrific Petit Chablis to me

Aulerde is Wittmann's warmest site

slightly earthy feel in the long finish

By that i mean it is dark

it is very hard to remember when this Cabernet would not have been amongst the very best released in this country

An absolute classic for this wine

The 2023 is very fragrant with violet

with razor-sharp minerality

Perfect for early drinking – already complex

Even those should soften and integrate as this collectible wine continues it bottle evolution

penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness
