1999 Castello del Terriccio Tassinaia Maremma Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Maremma, Maremma Toscana IGT (10/22/2009) Dark and brooding with a wonderful nose of freshly turned earth, ripe plums, and cedar. The wine is refined and tannins smoothly integrated. The fruit, however, seems to be a little too delicate and I wonder if it will last in this wine. I think they're fading too quickly. Finish is very dry and dusty. I'd drink up. (88 pts.)
