Tasting Notes
The 2011 I Sodi di San Niccol� offers tremendous depth, power and intensity. The richness of the vintage comes through loud and clear in the wine's sweet fruit and glycerin, but then the firm tannins and Malvasia Nera kick in to give the wine its sense of proportion, while a host of savory and floral notes accompany the opulent finish. Deep, dark and dense on the palate, the 2011 should not be opened before age ten. I imagine the 2011 will always remain opulent, but is a real stunner. Ideally, readers should give the 2011 a few years to allow some of the baby fat to melt away. Drinking window: 2021-2036. Score - 95. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 2015)
