"It’s hard to put the 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Bossona down, as it entrances with a dark and rich bouquet of rum-soaked cherries, dark chocolate, tobacco and sweet smoke. This is creamy yet energetic in feel, communicating total elegance, with balsamic-tinged red fruits and inner sage and rosemary tones that add tremendous depth. The 2017 finishes with a mentholated freshness, gobs of primary concentration and a coating of fine tannin, making for a youthfully tense finale but also communicating that there are very good things to come with cellaring. This is like a well-muscled stallion. Wow." -Vinous
