Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1997

$74.95

...spectacular... a thrilling, seamless example of Brunello that I hope is indicative of how special this vintage will be. A deep opaque ruby/purple color is atypical for Brunello, but the nose of dried herbs, spice box, fruitcake, red and black fruits, minerals, and earth is stunningly complex. It is full-bodied, with supple tannin, a velvety texture, and a tremendously long finish... Robert Parker

Strawberry compote, roasted beets, truffle oil fill the nose. Plum and rhubarb pop on the palate with graceful tannins. Delicate and refined will probably last at least another 5 years in the bottle.

Short finish first night. Saved bottle for next night - better., more balance. Wonder if this needed more aeration.
