This wine from Melini is maturing nicely and seems to be in perfect drinking form. It’s a blend of 70% Cabernet and 30% Sangiovese, and it shows patented dried-fruit, leather and caramel aromas, a peppery, cherry palate, and some light oak on the finish. A hefty tannic structure is keeping this wine from fading, but get after it sooner rather than later.——M.S.(11/15/2003)—— 90
