2003 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

"Il Poggione selects its Brunello from vines that are at least 20 years old, when they’ve rooted deeply through the subsoil and can weather the intense heat of a vintage like 2003. This brooding wine is all muscle when first poured, with powerful tannins supporting rich plum flavor. It reveals more definition with air, the fruit aspect turning redder (strawberries, cherries) even as the sinewy tannins maintain their firm grip. Classically styled, with immense structure supporting its many layers, this wine will continue to develop over the next decade." - 93/100 Wine & Spirits
