The 1996 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers delicious drinking now, and over the next 6-7 years. The dark ruby/garnet color is followed by earthy, complex, smoky, black cherry, and herb notes. There is good density, copious quantities of black fruits, and a dominant smoky/scorched earth note. Round and velvety-textured, with low acidity, this wine is already complex and delicious.
