03.31.08 /2004 Torre Dei Beati Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Cocciapazza

This is a wine that Jamie has loved for a few years, and finally we decided to put it on the BONDA list for $58 - very good wine, and extremely good Italian wine for that price.

Stinky on the nose, with notes of restrained fruit and hints of menthol. Plush mouthfeel with lingering tannins. Needs to blow off for about 15 mins. Lots of dirty diaper stink with good Italian funk. Needs food.

The Cooper Srs. and Jrs. came over last night with pizza from Luigi's and salad. The wine has been a lingering bottle to try for a few weeks, so we finally cracked it, as I want to put it on the list. A good pairing - surprisingly.
