2001 Le Potazzine (Gorelli) Brunello di Montalcino

(14% abv)  Bing cherry with hints of tobacco leaf and cedar. Tannins have completely melted to form a very mellow framework. Quite low in acidity,  which is one reason why I generally prefer the style of a big Chianti Classico Riserva over Brunello. A nicely drinking, if not notable, Sangiovese. No upside to further cellaring based on this example. Paired well with tagliatelle alla bolognese.
