Deep crimson. Very opulent and exciting. Very ripe. Sweet, but perhaps a bit over the top. Lacks refreshment value. Too modern. Velvety ink. Dry end. Lots of acidity. Tannins hidden. (JR)

(Release date 1/1/02) The terrific 1997 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a staggering aromatic profile of soy sauce, roasted meats, dried herbs, jammy black and red fruits, and Asian spices. This full-bodied, superbly concentrated, layered, multidimensional Brunello is the kind of wine one expects from such a renowned region, but so rarely receives. This beauty should drink well young yet evolve effortlessly for 15+ years. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
