The 1996 I Sodi di San Niccolo is another big wine. Firm tannins frame an expressive core of black cherries, plums, spices, licorice and new leather. There is more than enough density in the fruit to make me think the wine will age beautifully for another 10-15 years. Although a lighter vintage on paper, the 1996 has put on considerable weight in bottle. A huge, structured finish rounds out this surprising and unexpectedly superb Sodi di San Niccolo. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
