Giacomo Marengo 1998 Tenuta del Fondatore La Commenda Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti)
- $33
Spiky hard and downright traditional, but still attractive in a modern way. The nose offers roasted fruit, cinnamon and herbs, and the taste profile follows suit. Along the way come notes of mocha, coffee and milk chocolate. If there’s a pitfall, it’s that it hits like a jackhammer on the palate. Begs for food.

Giacomo Marengo 2001 Castello Di Rapale Sangiovese (Chianti)
- $23
Browning, with unmistakable paint and lacquer aromas. Already thinning out, with staunch acids and tannins making for a hard ride. Not much on display, and from a standout vintage.

Giacomo Marengo 2002 Le Tornanie Sangiovese (Chianti)
- $19
Strange on the nose, with tobacco, green bean and coffee. While it has the size, it lacks character and composition. And the pickled aftertaste does it no favors.
