Sunday, November 20, 2011 - This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is rock solid. Delivering fresh black fruit, chocolate, crushed rose petals and spicy cedar. I was really taken back by how fresh and clean this is straight through the chewy finish. It did get a bit tannic on the palate at times but other than that this is a very nice effort. Drink through 2015. - JD
