1992 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola

A pleasant and unexepected surprise, the 1992 Brunello di Montalcino is the most satisfying of the wines of the early 1990s. Although fully mature, the 1992 has aged gracefully yet it also has enough depth to drink well for at least a few more years. Roasted coffee beans, spices, dark cherries and leather are some of the scents that lift from the glass. Any remaining bottles need to be finished off sooner rather than later. This is another more than respectable effort in a dismal vintage.
