Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2004

Impressive saturated ruby, extremely dark for Brunello. Brooding aromas of dark berry syrup and licorice; distinct hints of surmaturite Then big, broad and extremely unevolved; highly concentrated but currently monolithic, and not really displaying its fruit. Finishes with big, chewy but ultimately rather fine tannins. Impressive in a modern style, but is this too solid for its own good?

Deep purple. Relatively simple, bland red wine. Tasted immediately after Poggiolo, it seemed to have so little personality. (JR)
