As for the 1995 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva del Nocio, this is an outstanding, dense, purple-colored wine offering a superb combination of fruit and structure. The fruit is dominant, giving the wine jammy cherry, smoky, dried herb-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and spicy, with moderate tannin, and impressive purity and depth, this stylish, well-endowed wine can be drunk now, or cellared for 10-12 years.
