Sweet maturing fruit, lovely balance. At 15 years old, the 5th growth '99s are in full stride. — 11 years ago

Poggio il Castellare

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

Thomas Hughes

9.5

2 years in oak barrels, followed by 2 years of bottle age, then released in the 5th year. Montalcino has made Brunello both a science and passion. In the most recent vintages, 2001, 2004, 2006, it didn't matter the vineyard ... Most are outstanding. But some stick out and this wine does just that. The fruit that initially hits the palate is mind blowing. How can this not be a Bordeaux blend? How can this just be Sangiovese? But it continues with the grace and balance of an old world red. Unfortunately, I haven't seen this bottle in at least a few years and I only have 1 bottle left. But for under $50, this definitely stands out! Cheers! — 13 years ago

Note "delectable" has this bottle labeled as a Rosso, when it is a Brunello. T
