1988 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino

The profound 1988 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a huge nose of black-cherries and spice box aromas intermingled with scents of wood, smoke, herbs, and cedar, full body, an unctuous, voluptuous texture, great concentration, and surprisingly low acidity. Poggio Antico's 1988 has tamed the vintage's toughness, producing a decadent, hedonistic Brunello that should drink well now and over the next 12-15 years. One of Brunello di Montalcino's emerging stars, Poggio Antico continues to produce some impressive Brunellos. Importer: Empson USA, Alexandria, VA.
