Made from a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend, the 2000 Le Stanze boasts an opaque ruby/purple color along with scents of cassis, lead pencil, vanilla, espresso, and black currants. Deep, medium to full-bodied, and more powerful and muscular than the 1999, it requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014.
