Fontalloro 1997

90POINTS

16^½/20

Tuscany, ItalyGenerous ripe open nose with gamy spicy notes mixed with smoke prunes and coffee. Big and rich on entry with a firm acidity spike and dry tannins everywhere. Spiced smoke, tar and cherry mark the flavours and finish. Will need several years to settle down and shed some tannins. Patience is required.Tasted: 02 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
