unctuous flavors are lifted by amazing freshness

lingering and mildly rustic finish where the only fault is a hint of warmth

This well-balanced effort should amply reward mid to even longer-term cellaring though 12 to 15 years should see it at its best

Poggio Sotto, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Size:3x750ml unctuous flavors are lifted byA dark, towering wine, the 2005 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is quite similar in style and personality than the straight Brunello, but it has more of a tannic spine and greater overall structure. Dark and mysterious, the 2005 is constantly changing in the glass. I imagine it will still be fabulous at age 30. This is an especially dark, almost exotic, Brunello. Antonio Galloni
