Saturday, January 26, 2019 - Wine spectator Top 100 2009 at #5. Part of in-store inventory that I brought home with me when I sold my store. Blend of Sangiovese/Cabernet/Petite Verdot. About $60.00. Popped and poured. Color: ruby red with just the slightest hint of browning on the rim and medium legs. Nose already has secondary characteristics of sandal wood, orange rind, cedar, cigar box, wet saddle leather and earthy loam/truffles along with the classic berry/cherry nose. The palate was smoothly balanced with black licorice,dried maraschino cherries., orange rind and cedar. Ultra smooth tannin's, cherry and licorice component combine successfully for an outstanding Castello Di Brolio. Cellared since purchase in 2009. Pair with classic spaghetti, aged Swiss and Parmesan cheese. Caprese salad or a roasted veggie antipasto plate will work well. I want to try with a lasagna bolognese.
