2004 Brunello di Montalcino Report - February 2010

A Must Have Vintage

"You are going to like 2004 Brunello di Montalcino.  Do you remember the great 1997 and 2001, as well as the super 1999 Brunellos?  Well, 2004 is along those lines of quality, but it's a different style.  The vintage produced more perfumed, more refined Brunellos than other top vintages.  And they are going to be wonderful to drink with two or three more years of bottle age."  James Suckling, Wine Spectator.
