Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2012, Robert Parker, Dec 2002
The 2000 Macchiole Rosso is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot aged 14-16 months in French oak prior to being bottled unfiltered. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by complex aromas of melted chocolate, espresso, leather, black cherries, currants, and licorice. There is considerable volume, all the Tuscan typicity one would want, superb ripeness, and a layered, concentrated finish. It should drink well for 8-10 years.
