A very exotic nose. Rich. Voluptuous. Not too dry. Another example of a very successful 2003 in Chianti country.

Vinous (93)

The 2003 Flaccianello della Pieve has aged well considering the oppressive heat of the year. The tannins will always remain firm and the aromatics are starting to show slight elements of oxidation. I don't see the 2003 ever developing into a great Flaccianello. Readers should consider drinking the 2003 over the next 5-7 years at most. This is a decidedly huge, opulent Flaccianello, but the wine's extroverted qualities are as well balanced as one could reasonably hope for.
