A powerhouse wine, the 2011 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano hits the palate with an exotic array of smoke, incense, scorched earth, iron and black fruit. This is far from an easygoing 2011, so readers should plan on cellaring the Vino Nobile for another few years. Ferrous, savory notes add complexity to the intense finish. The 2011 is a bit rustic, but also highly attractive. Score - 90. (Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Oct. 2014)
