Dei 2004 Riserva Bossona Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)
Gorgeous harmony and depth characterize this wine, which may well be the best Vino Nobile Riserva of the 2004 vintage. Aromas include black currant, spice, leather and tobacco and work seamlessly together, without any single element overwhelming the other. Elegance and balance also distinguish the mouth: It has chewy, dense tannins and good length on the close.

Carpineto 2001 Vigneto Poggio Sant’Enrico Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)
- $75
This is an evolved and sophisticated Vino Nobile with rich concentration, dense texture and very pretty, wood-driven notes of vanilla and spice that are splashed evenly over black currants, plums and prunes. The wine exhibits harmony and balance, and although it is on the thick or gritty side, it does have the natural tannins to pair with succulent meat.

This is a sophisticated and very modern approach to Vino Nobile di Montepulciano with an evident oak intervention that adds layers of spice and smoke to a rich palate of forest berry and blackberry. The wine is smooth and dense in the mouth and offers very impressive staying power. Give it another five years of cellar aging.
