The 1999 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva, dark in color and with aromas of game, saddle leather, plums, and dried herbs, is less supple and generous in flavor with drier tannins. Made from four year old vines and with a certain vigor and intensity, it needs more flesh to fill out the flavor profile.
