2004 Le Chiuse di Sotto - Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino

14% abv

A pleasant medium-bodied, if somewhat one-dimensional, Brunello. Tannins have softened nicely letting tart, savory morello cherry and leather come to the fore. Benefited nicely from a couple of hours ir aeration in the decanter. Very closed nose (or maybe my sinuses are clogged up from the pollen). I was hoping for more evolved tertiary character in this wine...

Paired nicely with prime NY strip steak grilled over cherry-wood coals, garlic-parmigiano-proscuitto mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach with roasted garlic and a delicious beet salad.
