This entry was posted on 3/21/2006 3:02 AM and is filed under Italian Wines-Tuscany, Brunello, Chianti.

This was a really good wine, and is ready to drink now.  A strong bouquet of plums, wet earth, cedar and tobacco followed by a well balanced taste on the palate.  Good fruit here, but not overdone.  Tannins have softened, and the finish is delightfully smooth.  Wine was purchased for $55 at K and L Wine merchants in the Bay area.  Retail price was about $80 upon release.

4.25 stars
