Score 88/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2007

Frescobaldi's Lamaione is 100% Merlot produced at the Castelgiocondo property in Montalcino. The 2003 is a rich, heady effort redolent of earthiness, jammy over-ripe fruit, chocolate and sweet toasted oak. Made in a sumptuous, concentrated style, the full-bodied Lamaione offers good overall length although its balance is compromised by bitter, astringent tannins that clip the finish and which convey an impression of limited elegance and finesse.
