Description
Monica Larner: This remains one of my favorite vintages inMontalcino, and it was indeed an important breakout year for theappellation in general. By the time this wine was released,one-fourth of all Brunello di Montalcino was being sold in theUnited States alone. The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is a very firmand tightly knit expression. Those dark fruit tones of blackberrypreserves and dried cherry are woven directly into a thickerpatchwork of spice, leather and cured tobacco. Fruit comes from oldvines at the Il Poggione estate. This was the first wine producedin the estate's new winery and a great percentage of new oak wasused as a result. Now more than ten years after the harvest, thoseoak aromas have slowly morphed into perfumed rose andpotpourri-like characteristics. This wine is drinking beautifullyright now.
