Sant'Antimo, Ateo--Vintage 2003
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
In original cartons
Tasting note: Ciacci's 2003 Ateo, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot, is a potent effort bursting with intense, concentrated sweet dark fruit, licorice and underbrush flavors. While it shows the heat of the vintage, the higher acidity of the Sangiovese provides freshness and gives the wine a beautiful sense of harmony. It should be even better after a few years in the bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015. 90 points. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #186, December 2006
