Clinet other_regions If it is not quite

If it is not quite as tightly wound as in some years

offering alluringly sweet blueberry and cherry preserve flavors along with hints of licorice and candied flowers

with the 2011 Flaccianello della Pieve appearing a bit softer and plumper around the midsection

There is a hint of warmth but overall this is quite well-balanced and the length is remarkable

it's thick and unctuous on the palate

Clinet other_regions If it is not quiteAn outstanding wine, especially when you consider the vintage, here you find lush, silky textures and layers of ripe, sweet, fresh, soft plums, fresh cherries and nuances of chocolate, licorice, spice, smoke, flowers and wet earth. Already disarmingly pleasurable to drink, don't be fooled by its forward approach. Give it at least 5 more years in the cellar to allow the wine to further soften, expand and take on additional nuances.
