2004 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino

If the normale is this good, I'd love to try the Riserva!

One of the most delicious BdM's I've had this year. No need to wait, this appears to be at peak. Satiny tannins frame black cherry fruit, exhibiting mouthwatering tartness that is a key part of the picture. Smoke, allspice, saddle. Classic Brunello nose. 
A great example of the heights that can be achieved with Sangiovese.
Paired with char-grillled NY strip, sauteed baby bellos and spring salad. 
Lovely Stilton with mango for dessert, with a rainbow to boot.
