Carpineto Poggio Sant’Enrico Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2012

Ripe black cherry, black currant and plum fruit marks this suave red. Rides the line between polished and muscular, with dense tannins shoring up the fruit, while iron, tobacco and wild herb elements add detail. Shows fine balance and length, promising a long life ahead. Drink now through 2036. Score – 94. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Oct. 15, 2020)
