Ciacci Piccolomini's 2000 is the finest Rosso di Montalcino I have ever tasted. This deep ruby/garnet-colored, outrageously rich Rosso boasts an explosive bouquet of smoke, dried herbs, black fruits, tobacco, and fruit cake. Luscious and opulently-textured, with a sensual, velvety-textured feel that cascades over the palate with no hard edges, this seamless classic should be drunk over the next 5-8 years.
