Le Cinciole 1998 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $18
A rich nose with deep cherry and spice notes opens this dense, even jammy wine. It’s not often you find Sangiovese this ripe from Tuscany, but the fruit here is very good, and there’s a lot of it. The finish is full and juicy, with mild tannins and good length. In weight and texture, almost like an Aussie Shiraz, but with Sangiovese flavors.

Le Cinciole 1997 Petresco Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $30
Ripe grape and cherry aromas presage the flavorful core of fruit upon which this wine is built. The mouthfeel is creamy, and dark plum and cocoa flavors prevail. The finish shows lots of spice, good length and full but even tannins. Delicious now; will be better still in two or three years.

Le Cinciole 2000 Petresco Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $33
Sour from the start, with grapey flavors and even some chemical. Bitter chocolate on the finish. Harsh on the palate.
