Found a left-over bottle in the cellar by coincidence
Still fresh and very well drinkable. Has turned pink/orange by now. Yeast is quite present and gives a bit of a hospital (disinfectant) taste. A fun bottle.

Bottle was put in play by review by Tim M, suggesting to drink now.
He‘s right (thank you!). But it’s fine. This wine is in a great spot now.
Seductive, straight out the bottle. No sharp edges, when reaching the nose. Ripe plums dominate, alcohol is present, even if not intrusive.
The mouth is very velvety and smooth. Plum compote again, some licorice. Alcohol recedes. Lingers quite long.
Will this one hold another decade ? I doubt. Will it collapse in the next two years ? No. Will it get better ? Unlikely. Put remaining bottles high on the ready-to-drink list and enjoy while they last.

2015 Hubervini Costera Riserva Rosso di Monteggio

Surprised by the freshness and vibrancy of this wine.
Long struggled with its harshness, today‘s bottle - second last - finally awards patience. And how.
Acidity is still there, yet gradually softening to support freshness. And freshness supports the fruit, which comes out clean and in abundance. Crisp red cherries, still a bit juvenile, yet settled enough to be really enjoyed. Clear, pure, alcohol hardly present.
A clear case of ‚the more I drink, the less I know‘. Meaning: the boundaries of the wine universe expand more rapidly than my ability to understand.
