The 2011 Giusto di Notri wraps around the palate with gorgeous depth. Round, creamy and deeply expressive, the 2011 offers gorgeous up-front richness and resonance. Dark cherry, plum and spice notes all flesh out on the inviting finish. Today, the tannins are a bit firm, but then again, the wine was only been in bottle for three days. Still, the Giusto di Notri lacks a bit of the polish of the other recently bottled 2011s here. It will be interesting to see if that is an attribute of the wine itself, or simply a reaction to bottling. Only time will tell for sure. Score: 92+ Antonio Galloni

The Giusto di Notri 2011 has a beautifully elegant and well integrated nose of concentrated red and morrello cherries, alongside ripe blueberries and blackberries and a touch of cedar and savoury earthiness. The palate has a full and velvety texture of cherries and crushed blackberries with plenty of silky tannins that ride the succulent, juicy wave of harmonious finesse to a long and lingering finish of subtle savouriness and spice. This is a seriously delicious wine at an incredible price, perfection in a glass.
