A couple hours in the decanter really help this unfurl. However, if you're waiting for fruit, it might be a long, long time. This is all about savory mineral texture. Excellent with some orange & fennel halibut. There must be some magic dust that @Hardy Wallace puts in the all the D&R bottles to make them taste better after a three hour decant. — 11 years ago

Matt (Rowdy) told me this wine is much better 2nd or 3rd day open. I agree.

How in the world do you still have some left in the bottle for a second or third day? That's an exercise in restraint I'm not sure I have with these wines!

Mastroberardino

Nova Serra Greco di Tufo 2013

A little R&D for tomorrow. 2013 vintage. Structured, elegant. Bracing minerality, zippy acidity, with lemon and apple notes. The finish lingers for quite a bit. — 11 years ago

Morellino di Scansano 2012

Sunday night R&D. 2012 vintage. Pours a brilliant ruby red. Exhibits a certain wildness that I like. Definitive berry fruit, herbs and leather. Soft and velvety on the palate. — 11 years ago
