unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reticent bouquet of dried flowers and delicate hints of red berries and gingerbread

round and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality onto the energetic and solidly persistent finale

with an elegant personality

000-case cuvee is dominated by its Merlot component (the blend also includes some Cabernet Franc)

and particularly so compared to a classic Chambolle

Poliziano, Stanze other_regions_italy unwinding in the glass withThe 2011 Le Stanze del Poliziano, the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend, offers lovely juiciness and intensity throughout. Dark plum, crme de cassis, cloves, menthol and licorice are some of the signatures. Fleshy and generous, the 2011 should continue to drink nicely for another decade or so. Readers who like more aromatic and flavor nuance will want to give the 2011 a little more time in bottle, as it is still quite young. Antonio Galloni
