Community Tasting Note

96 Points
Sunday, February 5, 2012 - Gorgeous aromas of dark fruit, spice, tobacco and a hint of vanilla. Medium-to-full-bodied, with layer upon layer of subtle fruit, spice and sweet tobacco flavors. The tannins are ultra-fine and linger beautifully on the long fruit and mineral-tinged finish. A deftly executed "old-school" Brunello that leans ever-so-slightly to the "modern" side, is all about finesse, but is immensely satisfying. The best Brunello I have ever tasted and a wine that definitely lives up to its #11 ranking in Wine Spectator's top 100 of 2009.
50+5+14+18+9=96

I've enjoyed this wine in multiple vintages....even 2005! (picked up a 6 pak for a bargain clearance price). 2006 is also going to be special, but is much more tannic, and is at least 2-3 years away from its drinking window.
Cheers!
