2004 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino $96/ Vinifera Tasting


Let me start of by saying how the price I put of $96 is in Washington State but if you do a search for the same wine in another state it will come up as around $56. Oh how we love this three-tier system in this state!

This is a great example of a traditional Brunello di Montalicino. Great nose of dried flowers, light herbs with a hint of vanilla and wild berries. Pretty full-bodied yet could use a year or so in the bottle to calm down. Tannins are firm but with a little air they seemed to mellow some. This is what I'd call the "full belly sit down" kind of wine. Good juice.
