Flaccianello della Pieve--Vintage 1997
Tuscany. Fontodi
Tasting Note: There are 3,500 cases of the 1997 Flaccianello, a 100 Sangiovese aged in new French oak for 18 months. A dark ruby/purple colour is followed by a strikingly fragrant nose of saddle leather, cedar, liquorice, vanilla, and black cherry/blackberry fruit. The wine possesses medium to full body, gorgeous delineation, fine ripeness, and a sweet, glycerin-imbued, long finish. Given the vintage's glycerin level and opulence, it can be drunk now, but it promises to last for 15 or more years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 130 (Aug 2000).
