2005 Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino

Poggio di Sotto’s 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is just as striking today as it was when I tasted it from barrel and then from bottle when it was first released. Still powerful and richly textured, the 2005 possesses superb depth and tons of pure pedigree. The aromatics are only now starting to open up and show the first signs of development, and yet the 2005 remains rich, brooding and not yet ready to show all of its cards. Readers lucky enough to own it can look forward to another two decades of exceptional drinking. (AG)
