2001 Azienda Agricola Terra d'Aligi Montepulciano Tatone (Italy, Abruzzi, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) (89 pts)

Dark garnet red color, not unlike that of a young Cab. Nose was soaring with gamey notes and aromas of chocolate, brown sugar, and tobacco. Nice and plush on the palate with a decent finish. My only complaint is that it is just a little too one-dimensional to qualify for 90+ points. Solid QPR though at around $17.
