The1998 Toni is exceptional. It boasts a ruby purple color as well as a gorgeously expressive nose of black fruits, balsam wood, dried herbs, and soil notes. With superb purity, ripe fruit, a lush, layered texture, and a long, seamless finish, it will drink well for 5-6 years. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

This is a delicious wine that many readers will find even better than my rating suggests. Although not complex, it is loaded with fun and fruit, extremely pure (because of clean, healthy vinifications), and well-balanced, with fruit-dominated personalities. I highly recommend it even though my scoring system does not do justice to wine such as this that represents 100% pleasure, yet may not be that complex. The opaque purple-colored 1997 Toni' is a serious offering. It boasts great fruit, terrific ripeness, a black cherry/blackberry jammy character, medium to full body, wonderful density, but no hardness, angular acidity, or rough tannin. A fruit bomb from southern Italy, it can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

The 1995 Toni is a full-bodied, super-concentrated, earthy, tar, chocolatey, blackberry-scented and flavored wine with considerable concentration and force. Dense, thick, and juicy, with plenty of personality and soul, it should drink well for 5-6 years. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
