The 2021 Montepulciano d'Adelaide leads with a super sweet nose of raspberry coulis, red snakes, lavender, bay leaf and a hint of lemon thyme. On the palate, the fruit is as the nose suggests, with the added benefit of very fine tannins. An interesting and swift arc of evolution in the mouth leads to a quicker-than-expected roundoff of flavor through the finish. Like a floor gymnast. Ta da. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
