The 2005 Morellino di Scansano is a big, tarry, powerful Morellino that seems to combine the size of the 2003 with the elegance, freshness and delineation of the 2004. Tasty notes of black cherries, smoke and earthiness complemented by a nice sense of freshness on the finish round out this delicious wine, which is also a good value. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2010.
