WTN: 1997 Palazzo Brunello di Montalcino

1997 Palazzo Brunello di Montalcino - Dark ruby in color, with a slightly purple hue. Aromas of black cherry, red berry, plum, earth, and a little licorice. Smells quite nice. Flavors of black cherry, minerals, licorice, and some flowers. Tannins are very soft and fine. Very approachable, medium-bodied, with a pleasant floral and mineral finish. This is clearly ready to drink, and I can't imagine it improving with more bottle age. The $39 price tag was still on the bottle, and while it tasted good, it really wasn't any more impressive than a decent Rosso di Montalcino. Not exactly money well spent, in my humble opinion.

I was taught to finish what I order.

Life taught me to order what I enjoy.

The art of living taught me to take my time and enjoy.
