"Stunning. The La Turque of Tuscany. Amazing aromas of game, earth and crushed black pepper. Full-bodied, with superintense flavors of ripe fruit, meat and chocolate and big, velvety tannins. Long, long finish. Best after 2004. 830 cases made. (JS)"

Rating for Italy-Tuscany: 86 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: quite possibly over the hill<br/>
