Clear & star-bright yellow with medium aromas of hard, green plum, apple & mineral aromas. There's chalky, wet stone notes & loads of lemon, lime & green plum flavors. Lower alcohol & not too complex, but Delicious, searing acidity. Like a giggling psycho lemondrop on a pogo stick. Love it! — 12 years ago

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
Super intense. Opulent. A fine shellfish companion. Starts off as a viscous batch of unripened pears. Moves to a sweet pineapple flavour with a white carnation bouquet. Finishes as peppermint stick and caramel. An excellent, evolving number. Drink above 60. Go now; premox lurks. — 11 years ago
Can not beat this with a stick for the price.... Tart fruit, fine tannins and after opening up, that lovely animal that Pinot emits — 11 years ago

Peppery and notes of blackberry and fig. The tannins stick to the pallet, pairing with a tri tip for Christmas Eve. — 10 years ago
