Principiano's top cru, from a desirable south-southwest facing vigneto. Intensely perfumed, especially for a wine from the often restrained if classical 2004 vintage. Pleasantly light on the tar but rich with sottobosco notes, this is, in my experience, Principiano's best effort to date. Power and silk, it's a textbook example of a steel hand in a silk glove. High long range potential. [***] $98.
