Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Riserva Santa Caterina d'Oro Vigna di Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

$74.95

The estate's 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d' Oro is rich and sensual in its layers of dark fruit. Ripe and perfumed , the wine reveals tons of persistence, great depth, fine, silky tannins and an expansive, multi-dimensional personality that emerges over time. Menthol, pine, spices and a host of other balsamic nuances swirl around in the glass, adding further complexity to the dark fruit and rounding out the wine beautifully. Readers who are patient will be rewarded with a superb Brunello. This is a terrific effort from proprietor Paolo Bianchini. Ciacci's Pianrosso is an old-vines selection that spent 36 months in Slavonian oak... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Stupidly rare and shockingly ready to drink for an 04! This is classic Brunello.

Going Italian, but n a big way! 2004, excellent vintage. Brighter red fruit, exquisite tannins, floral notes and clove linger in the pallet. Yum!

This is such a beautiful Brunello, and is really showing well at this point. Even on pop-n-pour, it shows great balance and texture, and air time only helps the wine unfold further and offer more complexity. This is one of my favorites.
