The 1999 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva possesses a blackish ruby/garnet, the nose offers potent plum, black cherry, and tobacco aromas of the maximum focus and precision. The forceful and deep flavors are rich with the sweetness of perfectly ripe fruit, abundant tar and licorice, and an ample, dense texture which swells and expands on the long and sumptuous finish. With plenty of power in reserve, this is a wine to cellar: drink 2005-2015. Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 757-8185
