Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2020, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2011

The 2005 Poggio Valente has developed into a splendid wine, exceeding my own expectations. Soft tannins and a mid-weight, delicate personality contribute to the 2005's approachability. Crushed raspberries, flowers and spices add the final layers of complexity. The 2005 has enough freshness to continue to drink well for a number of years, even if it lacks the sheer stuffing of some of the very finest vintages.

The single-vineyard 2005 Morellino di Scansano Poggio Valente is a delicate, slender version of this wine with perfumed aromatics, ripe red fruit and refined tannins. This mid-weight, restrained Poggio Valente should drink well relatively early.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2008-2015, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Jun 2008

The single-vineyard 2005 Morellino di Scansano Poggio Valente is a delicate, slender version of this wine with perfumed aromatics, ripe red fruit and refined tannins. This mid-weight, restrained Poggio Valente should drink well relatively early. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015. Proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti has been making terrific wines for some time, but she hit the bulls-eye in 2004 with her Saffredi. The rest of the wines in this line-up are convincing as well.
