Librandi’s 2004 Ciro Duca di San Felice Riserva (100% Gaglioppo) reveals a translucent color along with pretty suggestions of red cherries, sweet herbs and spices. There is good length here and the tannins are quite finessed, but the wine could use a little more generosity on the palate. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019.
