The 2006 Morellino di Scansano I Perazzi is an especially sexy, juicy Morellino loaded with fruit, underbrush, smoke and licorice nuances that emerge from its generous, plump frame. It should drink beautifully over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. I continue to be impressed with the wines of La Mozza, the Maremma property of New York restaurateurs Joe Bastianich, Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali.
