Wine Regions: ITALY - 2004 Brunellos

brunello_montalcino.jpgThe 2004 Brunello di Montalcino, tasted from tank, could not be more different than the 2003 in its personality and sheer class. This vibrant, aromatic Brunello possesses terrific length in its perfumed fruit with ripe, sweet tannins that are beautifully woven into its frame. The 2004 Brunello shows tons of detail and clarity in a compelling and utterly irresistible style. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. 91-94 points. -- Antonio Galloni
