The 2004 Percarlo is a wine of extraordinary grace, purity and class. Freshly cut flowers, spices, plums cherries and sweet spices are some of the many notes that are woven together in this super-refined, polished Percarlo. Today the aromas and flavors are still quite primary, while it is the silkiness of the tannin that is most remarkable. The 2004 is a medium-bodied Percarlo built on pure length and energy. Drink: 2014 - 2024

Though irresistible today, readers who want to experience this wine’s fullest potential may want to wait a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2026.

Deep ruby. Smoky, minerally aromas of violet, red cherry and blackcurrant, with hints of truffle, tobacco and pastrami. Very suave on entry, then smooth and fine-grained, with good mineral lift to the sweet fruit flavors. Sweet, lush and seamless wine, powerful yet elegant thanks to fine acidity that draws out the finish for minutes. An amazingly good, utterly textbook sangiovese that clearly communicates the greatness of this variety.

A balanced and attractive wine, with milk chocolate and berry character. Full-bodied, bright and very racy. Fresh finish. Silky tannins. Very well made and polished. Best after 2010. 1,580 cases made.
