Tasting notes
The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva spent one year in French oak followed by two years in larger Slavonian oak barrels. It is a full-bodied, soft Brunello with impressive concentration in its dark red fruit, new leather, spices and tobacco. The wine possesses outstanding length on the palate and lovely overall balance. Still, it is hard to imagine the rational for making a Riserva in 2003, especially at this price.

Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018. Poggio Antico is one of Montalcino’s most consistent producers. The wines are made in a rich, fruit-driven style. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel.
