Fattoria Poggio di Sotto
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Had it February 2011.
Garnet, orange, a bit cloudy.
Nose that changes minute after minute. Fruit and balsamic at first( full on Sangiovese from 96 vintage), then hematite( like Sodaccio 97), later hazelnut, chestnut, Tuscan chimney (Rayas 98), again changes in fava beans notes, herbaceous (cab franc like🙄).
Round, soft with a fresh approach and a good persistence on the palate. Good tannin, complex, enjoyable, but I don't think it will evolve more.
