| The single-vineyard 2004 Vino
Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone reveals beguiling aromatics. With
air, layers of vibrant dark fruit, tar, smoke, graphite and licorice
develop in the glass as this beautifully-balanced wine struts its
stuff. Ideally a few years of bottle age are warranted, but this
wine is so appealing at the moment that readers might have a hard
time waiting. I am confident that in a few years this wine will be
even better. The wine’s finesse, tannins and texture are clearly
those of a first-class wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024. |
