Terra D'Aligi Tatone Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2006
Tasting note:
A tasty, lip-smacking delicious wine to try. Attractive notes of red and dark berries, some spices and mouth-watering acidity. Great food companion. Food matches: red meats, cheeses.

 | Dan Trcka rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:
The LCBO introduced this vintage on Jan09/10 and then rereleased it again May29/10, perhaps due to its winning of Gold Medal at Vinitaly 2009. I tried it previously in February (see the lower review). Here, I review it again and even though the identification of components don't really differ (I am generally pretty consistent when reviewing the same bottle in a span of couple of months), my impression was quite different then from now. This time, I found this wine to be medium bodied with nice aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and BOLD oak and vanilla. The tannins were refined to tannic (decant for 30 min or longer) and the finish was medium to long and smooth. This wine has the potential to nicely evolve for the next 5 or so years. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 90 pts. Tasted May/10. I would recommend this wine for lovers of bold vanilla and oak, and this time, I would consider buying it again. |
 | A Gold Medal winner at Vinitaly 2009. It’s complex and balanced, blending aromas of ripe red fruits with the sweet scent of spice, and the palate is juicy and persistent. Fermented in steel and then aged for two years in large oak barrels before being bottled. Serve at room temperature and aerate for at least an hour. |
