Good but not all that impressive. Ripe fruit and healthy enough acid, but somewhat one dimensional. Lacked the vibrancy of the better Sangioveses. Recorked for tomorrow.

(LISINI Rosso di Montalcino) Montalcino Dear Friends, Here's a wine that was supposed to go out on Wednesday of last week but (in my cleansing Savoie haze), this was the odd man out. So, here it is on a Saturday at a price abandoned long ago by Lisini. This was going to be a major offer but the quantities ended up to be too small. 2004 was a terrific year in Montalcino and this wine (while a lighter version of the Brunello), is certainly worth your time and effort at approximately 50% off the normal price. We do not have much of this - please limit requests to 12/person but it may end up as 3-6/person after allocation. ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this tarrif with perfect provenance (we cannot get s second shipment): 2004 Lisini Rosso di Montalcino ...also set to arrive, this wedding/party special - nothing like pouring from a 5.0lt bottle at the head table of an event: 2005 Cascina Chicco Barbara "Bric Loria" 5.0lt (only 6 for the entire US - it's not from Montalcino but...) Both arrive in a week or two - they will be available for local pick up in March (due to posting laws). Both will ship during the spring shipping season (weather permitting). Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy7712 Italy7713

After resting in my wine cellar since 10/22/09, I opened this bottle to have with pizza tonight. Alas, it was corked.
