The 2009 Eneo is impressive for its sensual personality and overall finesse. Dark red cherries flowers licorice tobacco and flowers all come together beautifully in the glass as this refined elegant wine shows off its pedigree. Layers of flavor build to the textured suave finish. This Sangiovese-based red has maintained considerable freshness and vibrancy. Sweet floral and spiced notes linger on the understated finish. The blend is 45% Sangiovese 35% Montepulciano 15% Marselan and 5% Alicante Bouschet. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. --- Antonio Galloni
