| Galloni The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is big, brawny wine loaded with ripe dark fruit, new leather, spices and earthiness. The wine blossoms onto the palate in a rich, expansive style as masses of perfumed fruit come to life. This is an especially dense, concentrated wine, and the tannins need some time to melt away, but readers who can be patient will be rewarded with a splendid Brunello. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. -Antonio Galloni WS Delivers fabulous aromas of crushed raspberries, cherries and strawberries, with flowers and a hint of vanilla bean. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannins. Dense and very long. A serious, powerful and complex red, but needs some bottle age. This is the producer's best wine ever. Best after 2012. 2,150 cases made. –JS |
