Ciacci's 1996 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the sexiest, most complete and complex I have tasted. A dark plum/garnet color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of soy, leather, earthy black fruits, smoke, tobacco, and licorice. Complex, full-bodied, and moderately tannic, yet sweet, with plenty of glycerin, and a creamy, fat mid-section, it should drink well for 12-15 years.
