Tasting Notes and Scores

Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino. The year of record summer temperatures, the region saw virtually no rain between May and the end of August. High-elevation vineyards performed the best. Rain in early September saved the harvest for many. A notable success in very trying circumstances. Like many of the best 2003s from Bordeaux and Burgundy, this is a revelation. No sign of drying out, or aged/baked characters. Evolved, but in a very positive way. Notes of dark plum and prune, with a savoury, slightly herbal finish. Smooth, fine tannins, good length to finish. A very impressive result in 2003. (AH)
