Avvoltore--Vintage 1999
Tuscany. Moris Farms
Tasting Note: One of the finest estates in Morellino de Scansano, this offering from the single vineyard called Poggio Alla Mozza is made from 75 Sangiovese, 20 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5 Syrah aged for 18 months in French barriques. Yields were a lowly 24 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is deep, backward, medium to full-bodied, powerful yet elegant, with sweet blackcurrant and cherry fruit intermixed with lead pencil, vanillin, and spice. Displaying superb purity, a beautiful mid-palate, good fleshiness, and a long, pure finish, it is young and unevolved, but accessible. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 137, Oct 2001.
