Far better from bottle than cask

There is excellent power yet also fine detail to the big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors where the lemon-tinged acidity adds lift to the driving and impeccably well-balanced finale

This is stunning already

This is slightly more aromatically elegant with a pretty mix of red and black pinot fruit

peach and honey character

Poliziano, Stanze Vintage:2011 Far better from bottle thanThe 2011 Le Stanze del Poliziano, the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend, offers lovely juiciness and intensity throughout. Dark plum, crme de cassis, cloves, menthol and licorice are some of the signatures. Fleshy and generous, the 2011 should continue to drink nicely for another decade or so. Readers who like more aromatic and flavor nuance will want to give the 2011 a little more time in bottle, as it is still quite young. Antonio Galloni
