The 1997 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a dark garnet color as well as sweet cherry, ashtray, and earthy notes in the nose. Medium-bodied, with a short, compact finish, there is not much to it. Drink it over the next 4-5 years before it becomes even more desiccated. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
