(91 points) From 100% Ribolla Nera grapes, the 2000 Schioppettino (200 cases) displays a hint of raisiny character in addition to what may be a touch of residual sugar in its flavor. I'm not really sure about the residual sugar because it is so ripe, with high levels of glycerin and alcohol (16% minimum). This massive, opaque purple-colored offering boasts an extraordinary nose of liquid minerals intermixed with blueberries, black currants, camphor, and melted licorice. It is the most amazing Schioppettino I have ever tasted. Only time will tell how it will age, but everything is there for what should be an intriguing and gracious evolution. No doubt it will be controversial as it is such an immense wine, but it is surprisingly well-balanced as well as seamless. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015+? Wine Advocate #144 Dec 2002
