Score 96/100 · Drink 2019-2034, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2019

The 2004 La Ricolma is flat out stunning. It is also the first wine in this tasting that shows the direction San Giusto was headed in at the time. Stylistically, the 2004 shows similarities to the 2010 in its mid-weight, perfumed personality and Sangiovese-leaning profile, but the 2004 has a bit more body and overall textural richness. At fifteen years of age, it is in the sweet zone for drinking and yet also shows no signs whatsoever of fading.

The 2004 Ricolma (100% Merlot) possesses stunning aromatics and layers of blackberry liqueur, minerals, chocolate and sweet toasted oak. Vibrant and shimmering on the palate, it shows plenty of Tuscan structure to support the fruit, with phenomenal length and ripe, sweet tannins to round out the finish. It is another stunning wine from San Giusto a Rentennano.
