2006 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Nocio dei Boscarelli, Tuscany
Only 500 cases are produced from this 3 hectare parcel, which is surrounded by walnut trees (nocio). More new French oak, but more than enough wine to cope. On the nose this is very floral, with black cherries and an almost exotic spice. Intense, with notes of tar and smoky oak on the palate. There are many layers here and many more yet to be revealed. Magnificent.
