Score 93/100 · Drink 2001-2013, Robert Parker, Oct 2001

The 1998 Ateo (a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a gloriously ripe, full-bodied, velvety-textured effort with a dark ruby/purple color, plenty of smoky, earthy, blackberry, cherry, and currant fruit, a touch of graphite, decent acidity, and a seamless, opulent, voluptuous finish. This compelling wine is meant to be drunk over the next 10-12 years. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
