  2004 Brunello di Montalcino Taste Off, Episode #752, 10/13/2009 (link) 93 points

  (Frescobaldi Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo) #2 (tie); COLOR-dark; NOSE-darker nose; dark chocolate; mulberry; dark blackberry; big and masculine; PALATE-more New World style; an imaginary blend of a Tuscan wine blended w/ a California wine; getting some Old world earth and tar bubbles; but on the back-end had the oaky, fruit California cult wine flavors; they do this well; SPECTACULAR; a great effort; 70-80% would prefer this over the La Colombina that I rated slightly higher (because it is a little more approachable and has more of a delicious factor w/ great sunshine and fruit); ; WS-95; GV-93
