The dark ruby/purple-colored, outstanding 1995 Brunello di Montalcino offers a sensational bouquet of dried herbs, incense, licorice, and ripe, jammy strawberry, cherry, and red currant fruit. Opulent on the palate, with sweet, intense, berry fruit, this lush, ripe, evolved Brunello is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years. One of my favorite Tuscan estates, Altesino's wines are consistently among the finest of the region. Importer: A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
