Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2005

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is a gorgeous, classy offering laced with fragrant, mineral-infused red fruit, flowers and spices. This delicate, medium-bodied Brunello reveals outstanding length and a clean, refreshing finish. With time in the glass, the wine’s inner perfume emerges, adding even greater complexity. Antinori’s 2005 Brunello is one of the successes of the vintage, particularly when one considers the large production in excess of 12,000 cases. Drinking window: 2013-2021. Score – 92.
