Anyone who still has some of this might want to drink up now. My last bottle and the least enjoyable of several that I've had by far. The wine seems to have lost some of it's fruit and much of the smoothness. Looking forward to a half case of the 2005 that's on it's way to me.

A definite hit, along with a merlot, in a casual tasting we had of 9 different red varietals in the same price range, $13-16. This was the first bottle to disappear! Smooth, fruity, fairly light, not terribly complicated but very pleasing overall.

Festa da Polenta with 9-Year Noceto Sangiovese Vertical Tasting (Steve and Annette Jones'): Still the same win from a year or so ago. It lacks the distinct complxity of the bigger vintages but is still quite good. The 2005 may now exceed this one.

Soft, maybe beginning to fade just a little bit but stll complex and beautiful. Cherry and earth.
