88? Points | International Wine Cellar , August 2012

(80% sangiovese and 20% merlot):  Bright, full red.  Bitter red cherry, violet and minerals on the nose.  Enters bright and smooth but turns a bit pinched in the middle, with black fruit, mineral and spice flavors carrying through to a rather dry and abrupt finish that nonetheless offers good cut and grip.  There is plenty of cellaring potential with the wines of Poliziano, but they are all very closed and tight when young.  I suggest decanting this two hours ahead or aging it a couple more years in the cellar.
