Rated 90 - Monti's 2004 Montepulciano d-Abruzzo is an awesome glass of wine. This plump, juicy, cask-aged Montepulciano is loaded with jammy dark cherries, spices and underbrush. It should offer its finest drinking, not to mention a lot of pleasure, over the next few years. It is a superb value. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009. Robert Parker
