"Il Poggione's2005 Rosso di Montalcino is a lovely, feminine wine redolent of crushed flowers, raspberries and spices. It shows notable clarity and freshness in a mid-weight, classic style. Normally I prefer Rossos on the younger side but this wine has enough freshness and acidity to drink well for at least another decade. A recent tasting of the 1985, 1990 and 1995 found all three wines in great shape, not to mention that they were sublime." Vinous, Apr 2008 |
