Sesti, Rosso di Montalcino, Castello di Argiano 2005

Beautifully juicy, plump and sweet fruit on the nose, suggestions of wild strawberries, menthol, and curiously, leather bottles. The palate is rich and extremely succulent, generous yet spiced, playful and somehow grown up. Good complexity here, finish of fresh roasted coffee beans, the inside suede of a well worn tobacco pouch, clove, sweet raspberry, redcurrant, black plum, sweet earth and ground mocha. Displaying an almost pauillac like sandlewood aroma on the nose, pure italian charm on the palate, and a finish that is complex, elegant, and harmonious and surprisingly long.......excellent and worth looking this one up.
