1999 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino $100

I would say almost brick-red color with hints of dried roses on the rim. I picked up lots of fennel and cherry on the nose. Pretty full-bodied even at this late stage in the game. Tannins are soft and smooth. I did pick up a little fresh cigar tobacco and some slight cedar on the finish that also lasted a good 30 seconds. I know this vintage was good but damn!
