Tasting notes
The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino comes across as lean and powerful in its expression of red cherries, tobacco, spices and earthiness. The aromas aren't perfectly clean and the wine's structural components seem to have the upper hand over the wine's density and richness of fruit, suggesting the tannins will ultimately dominate the wine's overall balance.
