The 2002 Il Sasso makes one want to rub one’s own eyes in disbelief when reading the label – wasn’t 2002 supposed to be a disappointing vintage? Not in this case, as the penetrating nose of roasted fruit, graphite, and minerals immediately indicates, as do the sweet and polished flavors. Drink: 2006-2016.
