(1971 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/26/2013: From magnum: high toned, high altitude tasting with salt, brine and cherries, lots of power and drive on the palate, assertive tannins. We shall see. (2632 views) | | | Tasted by Sir-Harrie on 7/6/2013 & rated 88 points: Bereits in der Nase riecht man das Alter. Die Farbe im Glas eher rotbraun, schöne Schlieren, welche aber auch im Glas nicht über das Alter hinwegtäuschen. Im Munde Reife Noten nach Kirsche, Kaffee, rund aber wenig Power. Toller Wein, der den Zenit inzwischen erreicht bzw. Überschritten haben dürfte. Austrinken.

War für das Alter und den Jahrgang aber noch gut trinkbar. (2907 views) | | | Tasted by cbarbata on 6/28/2010 & rated 89 points: Well past it's prime but still alive and drinking nicely. Decanted 1 hour. (2066 views) | | | Tasted by futronic on 10/29/2005 & rated 87 points: Medium-dark ruby colour. Aromas of cherry, earth, and leather. Medium-bodied, with replays from nose. Still somewhat fresh tasting, but showing a lot of secondary notes. Short-moderate finish, 20s, with red cherry, plum, and earth. Drink up. (2211 views) | | | Tasted by futronic on 12/26/2003 & rated 87 points: Decanted 1 hour. Nice legs. Garnet red. Aromas of cherries, earth, spice, and mocha. Medium-full bodied with cherries, earth, and raspberry. Moderate finish, 30s with tart cherry notes. Not as good as the previous couple bottles consumed in the past 6 months. Drink now. (2171 views) | | | Tasted by futronic on 11/23/2002 & rated 90 points: Decanted for an hour before dinner. Ruby-garnet colour, slightly earthy, chocolate, cherries and pit stone on the nose. Cherry, crushed fruit and a hint of spice in the mouth. Unctuous, elegant, silky delicious finish, lingering for about 30-40 seconds. A great wine to complement a great meal. Had it with super thick filet mignon and Board-O's fabulous green peppercorn sauce. The wine was as good as the first time I had it earlier in the year. It's not going to get any better, so I'll drink my last bottle over the next few months. (2095 views) | | | Tasted by futronic on 8/20/2002 & rated 90 points: Decanted for 3/4 of an hour or so beforehand. Garnet red colour, slightly earthy, lots of chocolate, aromatic cherries and pit stone on the nose. Cherry and a hint of spice in the mouth. Unctuous, elegant, silky delicious finish, lingering for about 15-20 seconds. Absolutely beautiful. (1929 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
