The bargain-priced 2000 Rosso di Montalcino is a substantial, dense, concentrated offering with sweet black cherry fruit notes intermixed with cigar tobacco, leather, and licorice. Medium-bodied, gloriously fruity, pure, and long, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. This is an outstanding effort. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

Good, clean fruit here. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Needs a bit of time to come together. Best after 2002. 2,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add
