This results in exceptional fullness and plushness in terms of texture that transcends the mouthfeel. The wine's expressive bouquet shows open and frank aromas of dark fruit, tar, road paving, crushed stone and black truffle. This vintage also shows a savory or foxy touch of old leather or spice. I'd suggest a medium-term drinking window. Luca Currado presents his wines in ascending order of power.

At the same time, it’s also quite intense. Peach, apricot and kiwi drive an abundance of ripeness, which cascades into fresh cut flowers, orange blossom and cantaloupe. The citrus really comes to life here as mandarin, Meyer lemon and finally lemon verbena. While green apple, which is typically quite pronounced in Montelena wines, is somewhat overshadowed by the opulence of other flavors, expect it to become more prominent over time. Moreover, the texture is still angular and somewhat tight, which isn’t surprising given the wine’s youth. However, there’s certainly plenty to look forward to with notes of graham cracker, cinnamon and toast lingering beneath the surface. The finish initially leans into d’Anjou pear with some additional baking spice. It slowly transitions back to apple but more as cider than fresh cut. The citrus also persists as lemon zest and there’s a touch of peppery ginger as punctuation.

Full-bodied, the wine initially has a firm tannic grip on the palate, leading to flavors of dark plum skin, dark dusty cherry and blackberry essence with a mineral tension and subtle flavors of bitter dark chocolate and walnuts. The finish is long and textured, guided by a tannic edge. This is delicious but will need two to three years in the cellar before enjoying. Your patience will be rewarded. The wine rested in French oak barrels for 23 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Robert Parker, 94 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HENRY FOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13534313350,"sku":"Z 5A","price":93.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6837\/products\/FigginsSQ.png?v=1646752706"},{"product_id":"2013-moet-chandon-grand-vintage-brut-rose-champagne-france-750ml","title":"2013 Moet \u0026 Chandon Grand Vintage Brut Rose, Champagne, France (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER'S NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Coral pink with glints of orange, and fine, persistent bubbles.
