polished tannins and a penetrating finish

it's full-bodied and textural but incisive

Here too there is ample floral influence on the distinctly sauvage-inflected and very earthy wild red berry fruit aromas that display a mentholated top note

orange peel and minerals

flavors lack a bit of energy though I wouldn’t describe them as flat

Vecchie Terre di Montefili, Anfiteatro Vintage:1996 polished tannins and a penetratingA wonderfully aromatic wine, with gorgeous aromas of crushed berry, plum and chocolate. Medium bodied, with medium, silky tannins, crisp acidity and a fresh fruit finish. Needs a bit more fruit midpalate to be outstanding. Best after 1999. JS
