2004 Cerbaiona Brunello di Montalcino RP--97

Robert Parker: 97 Points
Wine Advocate #183 Jun 2009 Antonio Galloni 97 Drink: 2012 - 2024 $170-$195 (180) The estate’s 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is simply extraordinary. Enticing layers of mint, violets, black cherries, menthol and minerals lead to an explosive core of fruit. The wine continues to grow in the glass, showing off its first-class pedigree. Amazingly pure, textured and rich, this vivid, chiseled Brunello dazzles from start to finish, where balsamic notes make a final appearance. If forced to drink only one wine from Montalcino, I might very well choose Diego Molinari’s sumptuous Brunello. This is an incredible wine! Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
