Here is a pretty Tuscan blend with aromas of black fruit, spice, capers and black olive. The wine is firm and fresh but it also has a very high level of concentration and density that is fueled by smoke and mineral flavors. The year 994 represents the founding date of this estate.——M.L.(11/1/2009)—— 91

Intended as a commemorative wine to celebrate the estate’s first 1,000 years, Millanni is a wine that doles out sophisticated aromas of soy sauce, root beer, spice, beef jerky, balsam and blackberry fruit. It glides over the palate with ease.——M.L.(4/1/2008)—— 90

A high-priced wine that seems to have never found its prime. It’s heavily oaked, which is as apparent as the char, coffee and lemon on the nose. The palate is monstrously tart, with pie cherry and red raspberry. And it’s tannic. Not flawed; just not very pleasant for what it costs. ——M.S.(9/1/2006)—— 84
