1999 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino $180

Color is brick-red but damn does she have some legs. With a nose of fresh roasted Foldgers and light oak, this bitch is amazing! Light hints of anise and fennel with a slight chocolate on the finish. What the hell are they doing at the winery? Pretty full-bodied but very silky-soft tannins with a smooth finish. Perfect structure and balance. Some have compared this to the 1997 vintage but I think that vintage was more hype than anything. I love this wine!
