Col d’Orcia Poggio al Vento Riserva Brunello di Montalcino (Magnum) 2004

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento is developing beautifully. This is a decidedly feminine, graceful style of Poggio al Vento. The wine literally floats on the palate with gracious layers of fruit. Silky tannins support sweet red berries, flowers and spices on the mouthwatering finish. The 2004 is flat-out beautiful. This was a relatively generous harvest, and that comes through in the wine’s medium-bodied structure.Drinking window: 2014-2044. Score – 95+. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, May 2012)
