A very nice introduction to a great vintage and a great winery, the '04 Rosso is a dusty and spicy wine, with lots of terroir, black cherries and cedar on the nose. The palate has lots of chewy red fruits, intense spiciness and plenty of tannin. More of the dust and earthy notes lead into a dry tobacco and bell pepper laden finish. Though Rosso's are known for early drinking this one could use some time in the cellar. September 27, 2006
