Note di degustazione
The 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva matches its rival from 1997 in terms of power and persuasive personality. This wine exhibits a deeply polished or silky nature that sets it apart in a crowd. The fresh fruit is gone, but is happily replaced with creme de cassis, candied plum, root beer, balsam herb and crushed mineral. The concentration and thickness of the wine is remarkable, especially considering how juicy it is after all these years. Drink it now or hold longer. When you do pop the cork, make sure to aerate for at least four hours. Drink: 2014-2028.

Saturated ruby-red. Roasted aromas of coffee, chicory, mint and earth. Rich but juicy; firmly structured and concentrated but a bit dry for the vintage, with brooding, slightly medicinal dark fruit flavors and a firmly tannic finish. Not yet showing its personality, but this is still youthfully unevolved.
