Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 1997
Posted: 14:53 Thu 21 Jun 2007
Ten years old now so time to give it a try. I popped the cork an hour before the rest arrived so it was the first one to be tasted. Fairly deep in colour with reasonable legs. Nose was typically Brunello with the cherries and a nice wiff of alcohol. In the mouth it was very well-balanced, nice acidity, good tannins and fruity - very elegant. Excellent wine.
