The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna delle Raunate flows from the glass with dark-hued suggestions of smoke, tar, licorice, black cherries and grilled herbs. This decidedly virile Brunello comes together beautifully in the glass, expressing lovely roundness to the fruit and a long, polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
