This is a first rate wine with a deep, luminous ruby color and fine aromas of cherry, licorice, granite slate and pencil lead. The 85-15 Sangiovese-Syrah blend exhibits fabulous intensity, good complexity and loads of firm structure and persistent in the mouth: This is as good as Morellino gets.  — M.L.  (3/1/2008)

Conte Ferdinando Guicciardini 2001 Massi di Mandorlaia Riserva Sangiovese (Morellino di Scansano)

Incredibly rich and ripe, a total departure from traditional dry Morellino. Cola, chocolate, caramel and blackberry aromas emanate from the bouquet, while the palate is loaded with black fruit and coffee. Finishes sweet, with fudge and mocha notes. A layered, meaty wine.  — M.S.  (11/15/2004)

This Riserva takes Morellino to a new, more complex level: The fruit-forward, fresh blueberry characteristics usually associated with the wine are enhanced by lightly toasted notes, firmer structure and more tannins. Drink with braised meats or oven-roasted dishes.  — M.L.  (3/1/2008)
