Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

$89.95

The estate's 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso possesses striking depth as endless layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with tons of grace. This, too, is an intense, full-bodied wine. The balance here is utterly exceptional, and the wine's sheer plumpness makes for a highly rewarding glass of Brunello. Succulent dark cherries, spices, underbrush, minerals and new leather come to life as the wine sits in the glass...The Pianrosso 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

So textbook, so ethereal - aged Brunello is just on a whole different level. Barely opaque from a generous vintage, big extraction has given way to a more delicate, elegant & nuanced nose of dried herbs, early season cherries, hi-toned note, tobacco leaf, damp Earth, bramble and a strong vein of minerality. Med bodied, just velvet, so seamless w/interplay of tannins & acidity. So much mineral & stone on palate?! I say drink these now.

Delicious dark fruit and spices. Tobacco in there too. Can still go longer in the bottle, but a winner right now for Christmas Eve.

Terrific 2004 Ciacci Piccolomini Pianrosso Brunello. The extra age really mellowed it out. Purchased from Lot 18 several years ago.
