Brunello dinner

first dinner in the Brunello zone

great lovely rustic wine from two vintages

• 1997 Pian Delle Vigne (Antinori) Brunello di Montalcino 92 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

  dark opaque red-brown, tertiary aromas, leather, coffee, herbs, soft tannins, round black cherries, earthy, somewhat a bit over its peak but still didn't lose a lot, great along with food.
