Marchesi de' Frescobaldi Riserva Ripe al Convento di Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2003

$135

GUARANTEED BEST PROVENANCE: DIRECTLY IMPORTED FROM ITALY BY AIR Frescobaldi needs no introduction in the Brunello world, and their CastelGiocondo Ripe al Convento Riserva bottling from 2003 is fantastic. This is a very dark and intense elixir, with sweet blackberries and cherries, violets, coffee, and Tuscan herbs intensely pronounced on the nose and palate. This is a powerful wine with refined tannins. Truly a superb Brunello. I received a very limited number of bottles of this superb Riserva Brunello, and I don't expect them to last long. You can drink this today, or lay down for decades more in your cellar. Bottle Size:  750ml Alcohol: 14.5%

If I only could drink more Brunello at this age & pedigree. Opulent coffee, cocoa, black prune concentration of fruit. Dried cherry, persimmon, terrific acidity and balance, lively. A balance of generosity and silkiness.

Picking the best year for a Frescobaldi Brunello is like having to choose between works of art made by Michaelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci; either way it will be a masterpiece. That said, the Reserva from 2003 is way up there among the masterpieces.
