Vecchie Terre di Montefili, Anfiteatro Vintage:1996 cool and distinctly restrained aromas

cool and distinctly restrained aromas include those of poached plum

This is also packed with development potential and is a wine that should amply repay a decade or so of cellaring

it's full-bodied and textural but incisive

polished tannins and a penetrating finish

Medium-to full-bodied with a racy finish

Vecchie Terre di Montefili, Anfiteatro Vintage:1996 cool and distinctly restrained aromasA wonderfully aromatic wine, with gorgeous aromas of crushed berry, plum and chocolate. Medium bodied, with medium, silky tannins, crisp acidity and a fresh fruit finish. Needs a bit more fruit midpalate to be outstanding. Best after 1999. JS
