Although the 2003 Giusto di Notri, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, may not quite reach the level of the 2004 it too is outstanding. Boasting an attractive set of super-ripe fruit, earth, herb and well-integrated oak sensations, it is a plump, juicy Giusto di Notri that should provide its best drinking within the next few years. Like so many 2003s it suffers from slightly hard, drying tannins but there is enough fruit to provide balance and the tannins have become better integrated since I last tasted this wine a few months ago.

Deep ruby-red. Superripe aromas of chocolate-covered raspberry, quinine and coriander. Broad, spicy and palate-staining, with strong plum and mocha flavors and impressive density. The rather suave tannins turn just a bit dry towards the back end. Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2006)

Tua Rita
Rita Tua's estate in Suvereto has undergone a number of changes in the past three years. The extraordinary potential of this micro region and the huge demand for wines from this tiny estate has led to extensive new plantings and a complete new winery, so that what was originally only four hectares has been extended to thirty. However, the combination of high Parker scores in recent vintages and the limited production has led to some extraordinarily high prices appearing for these wines on the brokers lists.
