Wine Spectator Review: Out of this world. A triumph. Not very dark in color, but shows loads of smoky tobacco, grilled meat and ripe fruit. Fullbodied, with huge, ripe, velvety tannins and a finish that goes on for minutes. Seductive wine.Piedmont retrospective. Drink now. Parker Review: The 1988 is the most advanced of these Santo Stefanos. It is fully mature, with notes of leather, tobacco, beef bouillon, prunes and spices on a mediumbodied frame with soft tannins and excellent length. There appears to be little upside in cellaring bottles any further and I would choose to drink my remaining bottles within the next few years. A second recent bottle appeared to be at a similar stage of its evolution. 92 drink now | ||||
