Wine Advocate writes..."The 2004 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (mostly Prugnolo Gentile with some Canaiolo and Mammolino) presents a richer, riper expression of black cherries, licorice and smoke, in a linear, understated style, with notable purity and outstanding balance. Although delicious today, it is also quite fresh and primary. Readers who enjoy a more developed wine will want to give this Vino Nobile another year or two of bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016."
Just a quick heads up for all you Sangiovese lovers out there as the 2004 vintage in Vino Nobile is going to be turning some heads. We can’t remember a better version of this Wine Exchange staple and flag-bearer for the Vino Nobile appellation that we’ve ever tasted. This is one harmonious, finely balanced, concentrated, classically Italian red. Advocate 90 and quite the deal.
