"The 2005 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano is a great vintage of this wine in the making, as it soars from the glass in a youthful blaze of black cherries, bitter chocolate, new leather, gentle notes of tariness, lovely botanical tones (like a fine aperitivo) and a fine base of dark soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still quite primary, with a great core of sappy black fruit, ripe, beautifully-integrated tannins, fine focus and a very long, youthful and superb finish. All this beauty needs is time in the cellar to fully blossom, and it is likely to give the exceptional 2010 vintage a run for its money over the coming three or four decades."
