Riserva Santa Caterina d'Oro Vigna di Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Stupidly rare and shockingly ready to drink for an 04! This is classic Brunello.

Andy had this 8 years ago

Going Italian, but n a big way! 2004, excellent vintage. Brighter red fruit, exquisite tannins, floral notes and clove linger in the pallet. Yum!

Wonderful aromatics. Powerful but beautifully structured. Really wonderful.

Blackberries, blueberries, plumbs, violets, creme de menthe, leather, more and more with every single sniff. Gigantic.

a decent follow-up

with the long wait.....pluralistic and anthropomorphic

This is such a beautiful Brunello, and is really showing well at this point. Even on pop-n-pour, it shows great balance and texture, and air time only helps the wine unfold further and offer more complexity. This is one of my favorites.

This wine was amazing

Showing aged qualities. Dark cherry cola. Very nice! Served with homemade lasagna.
