WE 92pts. - WS 91pts. - WA 91pts. - According to the Wine Advocate: The 2004 Tassinaia is a blend of 34% Sangiovese, 33% Merlot and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 14 months in Allier oak barrels. It is a sweet, richly textured wine redolent of tobacco, smoke, new leather, underbrush, herbs, menthol and dark cherries. The Sangiovese gives this wine a slightly linear personality upfront, but then it blossoms on the mid-palate as the Merlot and Cabernet add richness and weight to the wine. There is a lovely sense of inner perfume that carries through all the way to the finish. Another few years of bottle read more...

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 04/09 This balances earth and spicy juniper berry notes with darker fruits like cherries and plums. It grows more elegant with air, its flavor drawn from the generous midpalate through the finish. It's substantial enough for roast pork.
