Brunello di Montalcino 2005 Poggio di Sotto

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is awesome. Dark fruit, minerals, spices and a host of balsamic notes emerge from this powerful, textured Brunello. Poggio di Sotto’s 2005 is one of the most muscular, concentrated wines of the vintage. The intensity of the fruit beautifully balances the tannins on the finish, where mint and flowers frame the close. This is a seductive, mysterious Brunello that provides endless fascination and discovery. Readers will want to put it on their short lists! Proprietor Piero Palmucci gave his 2005 Brunello a full four years in cask. A 2005 Riserva is also in the works. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
