Fontalloro--Vintage 1997
Tuscany. Fattoria di Felsini
Tasting note: The 1997 Fontalloro (rated 87) may be the finest made from this single vineyard (and I have tasted them back through the early eighties). Aged two years in French oak, there are 3,000 cases of this spectacular wine. Dense ruby/purple-colored, with a chocolate espresso-scented nose infused with cherry liqueur, it is a full-bodied, sweet wine with wonderful fatness, terrific ripeness, plenty of glycerin, and a chewy, long, spicy finish. There is some tannin in this youthful offering, but its appealing flamboyance is attention-getting. It should last for 12-15+ years. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Issue 130 (Aug 2000)
