Tasting notes / Review: The colour is intense ruby red. The bouquet is full, complex and fruity with hints of red fruits combined with signs of spicy touches of cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate this wine is structured, silky, elegant and persistent with a fruity aftertaste enhanced by a good level of acidity.
"The 2001 Terricci from Lanciola offers more evidence of just how good this vintage was in Tuscany and marks a new stage in the development of the estate. The spicy nose of raspberry and black currant fruit, the notes of graphite and cedar, and the long, rich, and balanced flavors (sizeable, ripe, and quite textured) all testify to quality grapes and able cellar work. Drink: 2006-2018." 92 pts, erobertparker.com
