Nestore Bosco Montelpulciano d’Abruzzo 2020

Enticing nose of mild spice and black fruit, together with a dried-leafy edge. Full-bodied, with a relaxed, fleshy mouthfeel through the mid-palate, the fine tannins flexing a little muscle towards the end, giving a long, controlled finish. Not particularly complex, but nicely structured. Drinkable now, but best from 2024 [through 2028+]. Score – 92. (jamessuckling.com, Feb. 6, 2023)
