• 2004 Carbonaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 80 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

  The nose, fruity with marzipan is not unpleasant but doesn't inspire.
  Very dry, quite pleasant, simple, doesn't warant keeping.

• 2005 Cantine DEI Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 82 Points

  Quite dumb.
  Warm, spicy, good acidity and tannins, some baked fruit, needs time to develop.

  Rich complex flowery but with pronounced oak.
  Fruity attack, great balance, quite moreish, needs loads of time to develop but it's drinking quite well now.

  A lovely mixed bouquet of cherries, vegetables and meaty farmyard.
  Fruit, good balance but this one needs a lot more time. Quality.

• 2003 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 93 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

  Gorgeous fruit, a lot of complex development and a hint of oak.
  Oak greets the mouth, then spice and lots of fruit, far too youthful for now, will be great in 10 - 20 years.

• 2003 Pian Delle Vigne (Antinori) Brunello di Montalcino 95 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

  Complex welcoming aromas of fermenting vegetation, new leather, sweet red fruits and some savoury notes.
  Luscious fruit and great balance, just about approachable now but this is infanticide. A great wine, albeit rather oaky still.
