TN: Ercolani Vin Santo di Montepulciano Riserva 2009

Post by Waiters Friend »

G'day

Purchased from the winery / retail outlet / museum in Montepulciano in 2019. 15.5% alcohol.

Deep burnished amber in colour. A fairly intense nose with burnt orange or mandarin peel, caramel, honey, and raisins. The palate is rich and unctuous and not overly sweet ( I can understand why the traditional match is almond biscotti)- in fact, there's a touch of that burnt orange on the palate as well, as a nice contrast. Full and quite long as you would expect a higher-alcohol dessert wine to be.

A considerably different wine from Sauternes, and most enjoyable.

Cheers
Allan
