1997 Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino - A very deeply colored dark red. A fairly complex nose of sweet tobacco, earthy herbs, cherry, and flowers. Flavors of cherry, minerals, red berry, and herbs, with some subtle floral and tobacco notes as well. The flavors and aromas really opened up nicely after about an hour in the glass. The tannins had some firmness to them, but the wine was still very approachable, with the tannins being tamed by a rich Bolognese sauce. Very flavorful, with good balance and length, the acidity was cleansing, and it finishes on the herbal side. I found this to be both interesting and enjoyable.

All the best,

Jean
