Score 93/100 · Drink 2006-2020, Robert Parker, Dec 2002
The highlight of this winery year in and year out is their Saeculum, a barrique-aged blend of 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot. The superb opaque ruby/purple-colored 2000 Saeculum exhibits a big, sweet bouquet of melted chocolate fudge, espresso roast, blackberries, and cherries with a suggestion of licorice and leather in the background. It possesses terrific stuffing, admirable purity, a layered palate impression, and a long, full-bodied, concentrated finish. This is top-notch! Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
