Siepi Fonterutoli 1998 (750ML)

91 points, Daniel Thomases, Vinous: "Blackish garnet, very deep and dark. Very sweet, penetrating aromas of chocolate and toasted coffee. Voluminous on the palate; round and supple in texture, but with no lack of tannic support. Not as massive and sumptuous as the superlative 1997 but, considered on its own, very strong indeed. Very long on the finish." 7/00

93 points, James Suckling, Wine Spectator: "Outstanding. Extremely ripe aromas of pepper, raisins and spices. Full-bodied, with layers of velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best after 2005.." 10/01
