The 2001 Suolo, all-Sangiovese, could not be more different from the supple and sensual 2000, significantly more powerful and concentrated and with an oakier nose and palate which will need a bit of time to come around. In theory it is a better wine than the previous vintage, but I have a soft spot for the silky, caressing 2000 edition. Drink: 2006-2014.
