A very nice wine from the Italian restaurant in Frankfurt. Ruby red in colour, full bodied but smooth and with more than a hint of alcohol. In Wine Buff terms "The 2004 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (mostly Prugnolo Gentile with some Canaiolo and Mammolino) presents a richer, riper expression of black cherries, licorice and smoke, in a linear, understated style, with notable purity and outstanding balance. Although delicious today, it is also quite fresh and primary. Readers who enjoy a more developed wine will want to give this Vino Nobile another year or two of bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016."-Wine Advocate Ideal for celebrating birthdays, big deals or just to dull the pain a little after a hard day at the tradeshow.
